NO.

Stores can NOT arrest anyone for "suspicion" of shoplifting at ANYTIME.

Stores have a legal right to question you, for a few minutes, but they shouldn't take you anywhere or hold you up for any length of time.

For example, Wal-mart door greeter asking to check your receipt, is OK.

If your an employee of the store, they could question you in an office, at anytime for even long amounts of time, if they suspect you. But you would be ON the Clock getting paid.

In the UK what are the Miranda rights?

We don't call them 'Miranda Rights' in the UK, there's just a standard statement that a police officer will give to a suspect when they are arrested. I can't remember it word for word, but it is very similar to: "I am arresting you on suspicion of...."(whatever the suspicion may be). "You don't have to say anything, but anything that you DO say may be taken down and used in evidence against you in a court of law".
