Yeah. I dealt with the same thing going into a restaurant/bar in Sweden: they could charge you to check your coat, and if you refused to check your coat, they could turn you away OR pat you down. Basically, you were required to check your coat, and pay for the privilege at that! Annoying... but private businesses are not bound by the same laws/standards as govt/police.
