All I can say is that that is a law pertaining to a different circumstance. That's about detaining a suspected shoplifter not about checking a receipt against the merchandise in a customer's possession. There may be such a law but Rick didn't cite it so we can't look it up and check the wording.

I think we should detain Rick until he shows us the law. ;^)

I don’t think Rick was claiming Walmart was breaking the law by asking to see the receipt. I could legally ask strangers on the street for receipts for items they have as long as I don’t harass or detain them. Can I please see the receipt for the computer you are using now? See? nothing illegal. :-)

Physically preventing Rick from leaving the store without probable cause would be the violation of the law.
