caught shoplifting

I was caught. Self explanatory. However, the clerks didn't ask for my name, age, nor my address. They confiscated my items including the ones I did buy. They just asked me if I'm from a certain town and lied by saying yes.

They claimed I was banned from that store, and found another receipt from a different store in my bag and claimed I was banned from that one too.

I did buy items with card. However, they didn't believe I bought them. So I doubt they tried to track me that way. They didn't call the police and just said to not come to that location again. So...I guess I'm good.

If I walked into the other store, is it likely they would notice me? The clerks at the other store only had a description of my appearance, of which is nothing special.

Is it likely they even alerted the other store, or was it them trying to scare me into not shoplifting again?
