Of course, but refusing when they ask you to show your receipt is what we are talking about here, not some arbitrary other thing that can get you banned from a store. There are all sorts of behaviors that can presumably get you banned from a store, as you pointed out in your example. If someone has ever been banned simply for politely refusing to show the receipt and nothing else I would like to see some evidence. I’ve never heard of it happening. But yeah it is of course theoretically possible, you could be banned by a place of business because they don’t like the way you have a spring in your step, provided that the underlying reason is not because you’re a member of a protected class. But no business is arbitrarily handing out bans for things like this because it’s bad for business. Also AFAIK in the States it’s quite easy to get a “trespass order”. My understanding is that in most jurisdictions you simply tell the person they are in trespass and they are required to leave the premises or be subject to detention by authorities if they don’t. Now your typical employee may not be able to just hand that kind of order out due to some internal policy but in theory any agent of the business would be able to do it. There’s no real additional paperwork or legal process that needs to happen outside of a verbal exchange
