If they do, it will not be worth the paper on which it would be printed. Unless a court order or ASBO was involved, it is not a crime to enter a retail store during its hours of business.

You will be appreciably poorer for little/no good reason.

And she has a perfect right to tell them to get lost. Had they been interviewed under PACE - Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984, as amended - they would have to have an appropriate adult present.

How do you know that Oscar likes to foxtrot? Fifthly - does Staci live in England or Scotland? From her name alone, I would guess that she is English, but we need to be sure as the limitation period are different.
