One time when I was young my dog ran into the road and got hit by a car and they sued my parents because it cracked their bumper.
After reading this, the first thing my brain did was wonder if I could hook up a dog whistle to my car and then trawl the streets looking for unleashed dogs to lure into the street so I could sue the owners and if such a thing would be profitable.
I've been to many stores where I've been asked to show a receipt when I'm leaving. Hell, I've been a receipt checker a few times. This was in the 90s so its not a new practice. If you have a store that is literally hundreds of thousands of square feet, with hundreds of customers its not practical to visually see if someone has paid for their stuff. So they have someone check your receipt for like 15 seconds and then let you proceed.
By the quoted story, the employee grabbed the cart. Even if you don't believe the store can stop you from leaving, they could surely prevent you from taking a cart. At best convention calls for the store to allow you to use the cart to load your car, and the same convention would require him to allow his receipt to be checked. The guy used violence on one employee and then violence was used on him. I don't have too much sympathy.
Do you think the employee would have done nothing if he had started taking the bags to his car instead of using the cart to push them there?
Speculating on a hypothetical based largely on one man's side of the story is rarely fruitful. By his own version of events, he was in the wrong and the store employee was within his rights to stop the cart from leaving the store.
But in the specific case of Costco, he has a written agreement that compels him to allow a search and to detain him in this situation.
Many states have enacted the common-law privilege as positive law (for example, Oregon’s law is ORS 131.655). In either form, the shopkeeper’s privilege allows a retailer to detain suspected shoplifters and inspect their personal property for stolen items. Such a detention will not be punished as false imprisonment as long as it is limited to a reasonable (short) time, takes place in the store, if the force used to detain the suspect is reasonable, and if the retailer had the reasonable belief (often defined in this context as equivalent to probable cause) that the suspect was attempting to steal or had already stolen something from the store.
Situation 1) You try to exit best buy after purchasing an item and they try to stop you after refusing to show your receipt. I do not believe they have probable cause to stop you in this case.
Situation 2) You try to exit Costco after purchasing an item and you refuse to show your receipt. By signing your membership agreement and paying your membership fee you have agreed to the conditions Costco imposes on you to shop there. One of these conditions is you show your receipt upon leaving the premises. Despite agreeing, in writing, to show your receipt, you refuse to do so. I believe in this situation, because of the consent already granted and disclosures made, you have given them probable cause to stop you for failing to show your receipt.
If the membership agreement didn't exist, I think Costco would be shit out of luck. But it does, and that's what makes the two situations completely different.

The purpose of stopping the cart to leave the store was to prevent the guy from leaving the store with the goods he had purchased, not to merely deprive him of the use of the cart as tit for tat. The purpose is illegitimate.
My issue with them is if I took away the drink name and recipe and just look at the designs themselves, the only one people might understand is the Manhattan. It's the same beef I have with a lot of minimalist movie posters done by fan communities. They just tend to use minimalism as an excuse to be lazy whereas if you look at something like Saul Bass's work, he is minimalist and evocative. He produces as a reaction in a viewer.

The appeal to me is that the minimalist design reminds me of the minimalist quality of the recipes. The appeal of classic cocktails is their elemental nature - you don't need a lot of ingredients. You just need good quality ingredients in the right proportions.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

So?
The intention of the person is usually very relevant in these situations. The employee's purpose was to detain the person, not merely deprive him of use of the cart to force him to take the bags to the car without use of the cart.

It pisses me off even more when something that could have been an interesting opinion piece is in clickbait list format.

I don't agree. Violating Costco's agreement by not showing your crumpled up receipt in your pocket means at worst you forfeit your membership and can't come back. If you tell the receipt checker you do not consent to a search of your bags that you paid for, well, that's that. Without actually seeing you slip an item into your pocket, leave the store without paying, or having the sensors at the exit go off, all they can do is politely protest.
