What kind of department stores are you shopping in that have donut shops in the middle of them? And do you think they’d actually try to enforce a receipt check for a donut that you’ve already eaten and they have no way of knowing you bought (unless they watched you buy it, in which case they already know you paid for it.)

Lastly, unless the store has some sort of membership program (like Costco or Sam’s Club) then you don’t actually have to stop for the receipt check. They can’t legally stop you from leaving, because it’s kidnapping if they try to stop you and you haven’t stolen anything.
