    And I’m sure if someone turned up at your workplace and gave you attitude for just doing your job you’d just love it.

    As someone in a role where I often have to be the punching bag and just cop it over decisions that are 100000% outside of my control, I have ZERO tolerance for people who treat front line workers like they’re the enemy. By all means I agree that it’s crap and customers shouldn’t be treated like criminals, I’m with you there, but take it up with their management don’t make the workers day any worse than it already no doubt is.

      I agree with all your points but…they literally just said “no”

        “Power trips”, “get out of my way”, maybe I’ve just been punched too many times today but the attitude here seems crystal clear to me.

          Sorry but retail workers do not have search powers. That’s what I meant by get out of my way. My transaction is completed, I’m done.

          Not interested in a middle aged workers trying to act like police.

          I make no apologies for walking out.

          I’ve worked retail before. It’s not easy, but no need to be over aggressive/zealous towards customers.

          I prefer not to interact with workers anyway, which is why I use self checkout.
