If they are checking receipts because an increase in theft I am ok with it

Theft is a product of their price gouging

Any financial loss to my local store will have to be collected in prices of their goods to keep the business open

No they don't

I wish they didn’t have to.

They don't have to, they're making money hand over fist

So then be clear and say you are angry at them for price gauging and not just get angry at them for everything they do for their business.

Increased theft is the cost of price gouging. It should have been built into their calculations.

What you say is true but the decision to check receipts may have come from a store manager just trying to solve a problem in their store. That manager can't really force the giant corporation to make less money no matter that they are being jerks.
