Tackle shops get hit harder than you'd believe. It's incredible how much merchandise walk out the door. Owners and employees get twitchy sometimes.
Sounds like RT could use a team meeting to establish policy and procedure if they suspect a goniff and what to do if they're wrong. I've personally been asked to show a receipt ( not RT) and I found it to be unpleasant to say the least. I asked for an apology when one wasn't forthcoming, just to keep the humility score even.

I once got accused of stealing cigarettes from a display in a convienience store. I do not even smoke! I went off bigtime on the clerk to the point he almost called the cops on me I was so angry.

That being said, shoplifting directly affects the price of products so instead of being annoyed perhaps you should have simply thanked the guy for doing whatever he has to in order to keep the stuff we need at a reasonable price. This advice seems hypocritical given my c-store experience but again- I don't smoke (cigarettes) but I do fish!
