I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt.

But I'm pretty sure that isn't a civil issue. That's a whole bunch of crimes, involving the violence committed in the process of detaining you and the kidnapping / imprisonment itself. What happens when you call the cops and say "this person tackled me leaving the store and accused me of theft, here is my receipt"

I mean it's a cop so you never know, but what's supposed to happen is that guy gets arrested for the unlawful violence he committed against you, and like definitely 1000% fired at least because every store has a policy against that shit

The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.

If you called a cop they would say, "it's a civil issue" because cops don't do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.
