I don't think they can make you do the receipt check at the door if they aren't a membership club... I could be mistaken on that, but I've never submitted to that outside of Sam's and Costco since that's part of the agreement for membership
Legally they can't force you to show your receipt. But refusing to show it could constitute probable cause for employees to detain you while they sort things out(shopkeeper's privilege). Detaining you could constitute false imprisonment, though Colorado courts recently ruled Walmart not liable in that regard. The store could also choose to ban you.
Legally they can’t stop you, but they are doing it anyway. I haven’t tried ignoring them.
