Unless there's a barrier to entry (like a membership at Costco), they can't force you to show your receipt or check your items.
You're kinda wrong.
Even Costco can't "force" you. What they can do is ban you, which any store can do. It's harder to enforce without someone at the door checking, but totally possible.
It's actually in the membership agreement. If you refuse to show, they can ban you. However, the fact you would have a Costco membership indicates that you signed an agreement that allows them to have you show the receipt.
In my experiences, it has always been something flagged by the receipt checker at Costco confirming that I got something I paid for and had to collect for the secure area, or provided to me at check out like movie tickets.
Yes, but what I'm saying is that any store can ban you for any reason (that isn't legally protected)
So it has nothing to do with Costco specifically
It's all good. The moment they demand my papers we go talk about it at the return counter anyway. They can double-secret-ban me if it'll make them happy, but they can't fire me as a customer if I've already quit.
