People are retarded out, don't want to pay for anything or work. Than you have corporations and the government stealing themselves.

Most people just don't want the hassle but no matter what anyone says, unless you are part of a membership based retail chain with implicit contractual conditions, a store has no right to ask for a receipt, much less detain you if you refuse.

A security guard or an employee has no legal authority to detain you unless they have proof you stole something. With or without proof, it's just a citizens arrest. Listen to the words they are using when they stop you though. They should ASK you to show your receipt or ASK you to stay. Something like “will you come to the back office with me?” If you comply, that's your choice and you have no case against them. If you don't comply, that's your choice too and they should let you go about your day. If they prevent you from leaving the store against your will, you can charge them for false imprisonment or in some cases kidnapping (assuming they can't prove you stole something).

If you are falsely detained I would call the police as soon as possible. If you are unable to call the police until you are released, I would call the police before you leave the property and wait in the parking lot for them to show up. Getting the police involved could result in criminal charges, but at the very least will help you in a law suit. If the store has all their ducks in a row and has proof that you really did steal something, they should be calling the police while they sort it out. Otherwise there's a good chance they hurt their case against you. Keep in mind through all of this that it's the store's responsibility to prove that you stole something, not your responsibility to prove that you didn't.

So walking without stopping at the hall monitors exit is more or less a test and they’re hoping you’ll blow it and submit to some bassackwards receipt check that serves no real loss prevention purpose.

I do stop for adorable old people though - because that’s like their last thing that means anything. I’ll easily wait 2 minutes while some octogenarian verifies I actually purchased only shampoo, diapers and a fifty inch TV.

I cussed one of them(dude)slap out one day, and me being a reasonable person, I went home and thought about it. I determined I could have handled it better, and now I just give them the receipt. I may have an annoyed look on my face, but I cant help that.
