Not arrest so much as detain for further investigation.
You can also be detained for failing to comply with the store policy
requiring receipt checks.

No, the store can't legally detain you for anything that isn't a
violation of the law. Store rules don't count.

If the store had a rule that you had to dance a jig before leaving and
you chose not to do it, could they detain you? Nope.

And they can't detain you for not getting your receipt inspected, either.
