Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia
Receipt checks
Does a person have the right to deny showing a receipt upon exiting a retail store? I am refering to the practice of receipt checking by many retailers now.

Re: Receipt checks
Probably, but why would you want to(assuming your purchases have been legitimately paid for and you have done nothing to provide probable cause for the request)?
Nevertheless, as long as the retailer applies these checks to all the customers exiting the store, if you refused the request to show a receipt, he would then have reasonable grounds to bar your future entrance to the store(in my opinion).
