Reply #318: Actually, let's see what you yourself had to say at the top of the thread:

I stopped showing my receipts quite a while ago..

When I learned there was no legal requirement to do so.

I'm hoping that someone detains me because I'm going to sue the crap out of them and I could use the money.

I won't stop when told and if they try to block my exit in any way I'm going to keep moving and let them try to force me. There are enough security cameras around these days that the entire incident almost certainly will be recorded.

So- you say you pretty much deliberately go into stores with a 'fuck you' attitude to the people who work there, 'you can't make me show you anything', yet you still shop at these stores.. hoping that as you give the finger to whatever security procedures they have in place, someone will do something wrong so that you can "sue the crap out of them".

If you hate these stores so much, why do you bother to patronize them at all? Oh, right, because maybe someone will fuck up and you'll get a lawsuit out of the deal. Whooopeeee!

Let me ask you something- when you go to a restaurant, do you tip the people who work there? You know, you don't have to. There is no legal requirement that you do so. Same with ordering a pizza. Tip that guy? No law says you have to.

No, there is no legal requirement to behave like a decent person. And believe me, I know from my many years of working retail, there are a lot of really awful fucking customers out there, whose sole purpose in existence is seemingly to make life miserable for those scraping by on a retail existence.

And someone who goes into a store with a big, snotty chip on his shoulder, hoping that someone will fuck up so he can file a lawsuit?

Well, what would YOU call that person, if you worked there?

THAT is what my previous post was about. Get it, don't get it, I don't care. I've said my piece, and I'm not changing my mind. I'm done with this fucking topic.
