Okay...say I cede your point, a store can make you abide by any agreement, even if it violates state law.

Okay, then let’s have Wal-Mart force everyone to burn any leftist literature they have at home, if you want to shop there, ya’ gotta burn the Communist Manifesto and any books by Bill Ayers.

Also, any one that wants to shop there must register third-party Independent and promise to vote for Conservative pro-lifers over the next ten years.

And, they have to give $10 to the Salvation Army! And they have to promise not to swear at anybody, to not watch any X-rated movies, and to go to church every Sunday, ONLY if the church is Christian and conservative!

Hey, I like this idea of saying stores can force you to do anything they want, even if it’s against state law! Thanks, great idea!

Everyone should have already burned any leftist literature they keep at home.

What's wrong with you?

Yeah but if they did all of those ridiculous things there would be quick results.
If they did something that a law official recognized as blatantly illegal, law enforcement would intercede.
More importantly if it offended enough people they would stop shopping there, and if enough stopped shopping there Wal Mart would go out of business.
You hyperbole is the argument of a person who doesn’t have facts to back his argument. I could just as easily say the moon will fall out of the sky and crash into Wal Mart’s headquarters, and support that as well you can support the hypothetical you set forth.
Again if you don’t like their policies, don’t shop there. If you want to go further start a boycott, try to get others to not shop there. That’s how you change Wal Mart’s rules. Not by bullying employees, who are following the rules set down for them at much greater consequence than you have. They can lose their jobs for not following the rules. What did you risk?
Your argument sounds less and less conservative, every time you add to it.
