'To be left with' can imply to cause to be or remain in a specified state. It is a little like 'to end up with'. Other examples could be: If you spend all of your money you will be left poor. After the divorce she was left heartbroken. During the mathematics exam she was left feeling confused. When the traffic officer pulled me over I was left with a $100 fine.

Left, in this instance, is the past tense of leave. "You may be *left* with an unwanted credit note, if you cannot find any other shoes you want from the shop" means that you will be given a credit note in the place of the shoes that you want. "You may have left with an unwanted credit note" does not mean the same thing as the previous sentence. This means you have a credit note and exited the store with it. Let me know if this helps and feel free to ask for help anytime.
