Exactly you are still inside the premises, perfectly legal.
What particular part of the Sale of Goods Act?
Soldato
But when you tried to leave with the goods, you did forget to take the receipt with you, so you did forget it.
If it wasn't legal they wouldn't be allowed to do it 
Do you know how long they've been trading for? How long they've been trading in America, across the world with the same policies? I think if it wasn't legal it would've been flagged up by now.

No I didn't.
The act of you and your one friend taking yours and another friend's shopping to the exit without the third person's receipt would say otherwise.

Since when it is illegal to be in possession of goods belonging to someone else when they have given you permission to move them?

"Company policy" and the good little sheepies who do what they've told by anyone in a uniform.
Irrelevant. I live in the UK and under UK law. I'm not familiar with American law so I am unable to comment.

:/
You fail so darn hard I can't be bothered to explain the whole thing again as so many others have done so already.

You weren't trying to leave with just your goods though, you were trying to leave with someone elses! They were not to know that those goods were purchased so stopped you until clarity was brought to the situation.
Had you followed the process properly you wouldn't be in this irrelevant rage

No one has explained anything apart from droning on about "company policy". I am questioning the legality of it - do you know what that means? If not you are in the wrong thread.

So, which law have they broken?
Soldato
And is that illegal after being given permission? Please answer yes or no.
AS FAR AS THE STORE KNOWS, YOU'RE STEALING THE GOODS.
Which has been said before and is exactly what I was trying to avoid pointing out to you as it is plain to see.
You do realise it's illegal to detain someone without reasonable grounds? I cannot stop you in the street and say "you can't go anywhere until you satistfy some criteria, then I'll let you go". I don't know the exact act, I'm currently looking into it.
- Human Rights perhaps?Stealing the goods from whom? The store or my friend?
Great. I'm going to go shoplifting then. No one can ask me to prove I'd paid for them on the basis that would be against my human rights.You do realise it's illegal to detain someone without reasonable grounds?

As Costco is a paid for membership, when you sign up you agree to the terms and conditions associated with that membership. One of the conditions is Costco reserving the right to check the property of members before they leave the premises, it's on the membership form and on their website. Your friend signed up for membership and therefore agreed to those policies. You were in shopping and purchased goods using that same membership. It doesn't matter who paid, the goods were bought under your friends membership.
I'm not a member but if it was me and I didn't like having my goods receipt checked, then I simply wouldn't shop there again. Simples.

They checked your receipt, found a case of beer that was not on your receipt. You could prove that you had them legitimately. Others could be stealing.
