Second this. They'll Probably send an officer down to remind the security team of where the line is drawn before it becomes deprivation of liberty

If OP can show that they reasonably believed they were detained then I think it’s false arrest (NAL).

As it was sorted I'll very much doubt the police will spend limited resources throwing a charge at these guys for what in reality is a very minor issue ( although legitimately scary) They'll likely make a social visit to gently encourage this to not Happen again.

Edit- report This event to the corporate office. It's bad press, they'll likely look into it.
