I find that very hard to believe. Once I pay for something, I own the
property. No one has the legal right to search my belongings without
reasonable suspicion that I've done something illegal. If the police can't
do it, I doubt very seriously that a drone working for WalMart or Home Depot
can.
When I say that they "can't" obviously if they're willing to make it into a
physical confrontation they can, but not legally and certainly not without
my sueing them and winning and possibly filing criminal charges against them
for battery.

Stores and their employee's don't enjoy any more legal rights to search or
detain citizens than any other business.

They can legaly check your bags/carts from the store and verify your
receipt
at least in Oregon. Never had HD or Lowes do it mostly Frys Electronics
and
Walmart.

I refuse to stop and have my belongings gone thru by drones.

You have absolutely no legal obligation to do so and shouldn't. Once
you purchase something and they take your payment, you own the item
and have no obligation whatsoever to show it to anyone, any more than
you can demand the drone empty their pockets for you.

I've had some of them being very insistant, but I ignore them. It's
funny to see some of them running out into the parking lot after me
yelling "I have to see your receipt".

No you don't. You *WANT* to see it, you don't have to.

Wal-mart has gotten sued over this and has lost every time. They have
no right whatsoever to demand to see anything. They can ask, you can
decline. They cannot stop you and frankly, I'd love to see one of
them try, my lawyer wouldn't mind picking up some free and easy money
for me.
