Lol, the only place I'm letting them check my work is Costco. I don't even take my receipt from the machine at other places, and have told employees on more than one occasion that they can go get my receipt from the machine or go check with LP and keep walking.

They can't legally stop you, so I'm not playing their games.

    They can ban you from the store.

    Is it a membership store? If not, they would need to have a posted policy that you're required to follow for that to be a real threat.

    The drone at the front of the store is not allowed to do more than request to see your receipt, and playing off that you can't hear them is also a good option I've used in the past when they try.
