    I wouldn't expect a general merchandise shop to have customised receipts for any product.

    It depends how they handle the sale. Argos take payment and issue a receipt before ever handling the item, so have no means of knowing the IMEI number. A department store, to pluck an example out of thin air, may scan the box as part of the sale procedure and capture the IMEI (or serial number of other products.)
