That is why you keep your receipt. But it always makes me feel 
uncomfortable. My grandmother told me that it is rude to the second 
shopkeeper. And even though I know in my heart that they don't really 
care and if the do, they should reduce their prices. I still feel 
uncomfortable.
Having thought about the matter of being asked to have my bag searched, 
I would say no and refuse to allow it. If detained until the police 
arrive I would request them to charge the shopkeeper/security with false 
arrest (actually the charge is False Imprisonment, in the UK). I feel 
quite strongly about it.
