It sounds like your boss is trying to make you sign a non-compete agreement. (You might want to google that term.)  If you refuse to sign it, most likely your boss can fire you on the spot.  If you do sign it, you might get problems later when you try to change jobs, your boss might try to sue you.  My advice:

1. Before you sign, have somebody you trust look at this agreement, ideally a lawyer.
2. If you are a simple shop clerk, that non-compete agreement would probably not be enforceable in court.  They might still try to threaten or harass you if you try to change jobs.
3. Don't plan on staying in that job for long.  They seem to be a!@#$%es.

I can understand non-compete agreements for white collar workers, especially those in management positions, but for jobs like working in a mall, such a document is ridiculous and is a red flag for an overcontrolling employer.
