Macy's has admitted that they purposely install fitting room doors upside-down so that the slats face downward to allow employees to more easily see into the fitting rooms. Macy's employs this policy, the purpose of which is to cut down on theft, in every U.S. state where it's legal. The news has stirred up controversy about the Macy's rights to survey their merchandise vs. customers' rights to--you know--undress without strangers watching them.
