Bingo.
The manager tried bullying you into compliance, but he knew he had no legal grounds for doing so.
Should the day come when I too am asked to comply "or else", I'll take the "or else" option, namely, call the cops and have them search my bag for stolen merchandise.
Considering that the store doesn't have a witness or tape showing me shoplifting, no manager in his right mind will do so.
