Maybe if yellow shirt by the door is actually paying attention or even
there, he'd have seen OP coming in and said something (as I said
elsewhere in the thread, the reason *I* know about the pink sticker
thing is because a helpful door guy said something when I was on the way
in once).  If the door guy isn't there or is napping or not paying
attention, how exactly is OP supposed to have any idea he should stop
barring a sign that says "please check your returns with door guy".

Let's see.  Shoplifting?  Illegal.  Speeding?  Illegal.  Sneaking into
the theater?  Illegal.  Going in the out door of a store?  Legal.  You
get an F in analogy class.
