Our local shopping centre does employ some gung-ho looking security guards, but all they do is call the cops. Not like I’m trying to cause trouble, I just want to pay and leave without getting questioned.

Basically unless they’ve seen you steal something and haven’t lost sight of you since it happened, they have very little legal right to detain you.
