How did he know? What if the guard was lying?

So if you tell me I am not permitted to enter your house, then you
wouldn't mind if I assume that you are lying and barge my way in?
Come off it!

I don't place signs outside my house stating the opening hours of
business. But if it fits your weird analogy, I'm prepared to accept
that a three-bed dwelling is EXACTLY the same as a Tesco superstore,
despite the fact that the door is permanently locked and I have
nothing to sell... (backs away, maintaining eye contact... wondering
when it will be safe to make a dash for it...)

If you believe that the guard is overstepping his authority, then you
make a complaint to his superiors at a future date, but you would be
very foolish to act on that assumption.

Not in my experience! I have never received less than abject servility
from management when I have contacted them. You know why - it's
because *I* am the customer and the customer is *always* right. No
customers? No capitalism!
