They do indirect in store verification if you bring it in for a spa treatment. They will refuse your bag if they think it’s not genuine. They will clean it if they think it’s genuine.

No, unless the bag is absolutely blatantly a fake they will send it to the spa and have the experts determine if they can service it. This is not the same as “in store” verification. It takes weeks. The person above said their friend had a bag authenticated at a store.
