That don't make no sense.

Just read your tag.   :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:    :cheers:

Anyone can be asked to do anything - it's up to you if you want to.


Hmm. . . show the receipt or maybe try not to and deal with some hassle.

Easy choice for me.

Sure, do I give up the "right" to not let them look at my bag - yeah.  But, really, what skin is it off ---my bottom--- to, back to my initial premise - let the guy do his job?

Good thing that "one" lady never let it go to avoid a hassle when she was asked to sit in the back of the bus. Who knows what might have changed, or not changed if that never happend. I don't think she knew she was writing history and it must have seemed like a very silly thing to do at the time with really nothing good to come of it, besides feeling better about herself.

I was waiting who would get the (insert random insult here) Award for making that comparison. 

Congrats.  Your high school civics teacher would be very proud.    :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

That's it? That's your only response. Nothing to defend your silly ideas about letting someone treat you like a thief as you walk out of a store?

This has been covered but one more time for you. . .

I don't see it like that.  A guy has been given a task by his boss.  The task is to check receipts at the door.  I don't take offense to it since I understand it's just some guy doing what he has to to earn a buck.

No skin off my azz - just helpin' the guy get thru his day.

And, really.  Anyone who thinks this is "being treated like a thief" has led a very, very sheltered life.

It's called cooperation.  Polite people tend to do it.

Didn't you watch Sesame Street?     :cheers:
