It's bullshit. I've never submitted to such a thing.
Same thing happened to me at Best Buy, the day before I left for my vacation (2 weeks ago). Guy stopped me and asked if he could check the receipt. I said, "no, i've checked it, it's correct", knowing exactly what he meant. He asked again if he could see the bag and the receipt, being a total dick about it. I asked for his manager. He asked why, and I explained that he was about to get a lesson in how not to handle people who refuse bag searches. He said I could go, and I again demanded he get his manager. He finally budged and the manager came over. I explained what happened. The manager was peaved at me because i wouldn't just surrender. He told me I was still in the store, and I told him that he had no cause, no evidence, no witnesses to any wrongdoing. I told him that I had plenty of time and the number to the local police station, since I used to work right near there. I told him i'd call them right up, and he could be put in his place by a cop for trying to detain me.
He told me to go, and I obliged.
Thankfully, this is not a store location I will ever need to shop at- it was the one near where I worked at a cell phone store for 1 month, about 45 minutes from my house. No reason to go to that Best Buy again anyway, if it turns out i'm banned. lol
