I see, so you feel its okay for others to require you to show papers of ownership at their will??
Companies must operate within the law.. they can ask to see a receipt, but they cannot force, at least not in VA and if they prevent you from leaving, they are violating the law.
There have been several assertions about requiring someone to show a receipt, but none have been supported so far as I know.
Can you give us a citation or reference or something?
I'm not asking as a provocation or out of hostility. I'd like to have the information and I have been unable to find it myself.
