Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[Archon_Wing]

I will admit, I am an annoying JERK about these little violations of personal space and privacy.

Should I get bag checked and asked to see a receipt, I tell them no very firmly. Should they press the issue, I tell them that if they want to press the issue, I will just turn around, return my items, get my cash back, and go. I make it clear that I am here to purchase something, not to be harassed.

That usually shuts them right up and ends the situation.

That would have been perfectly acceptable, and I would been on your side had something worse happened.
Building a mountain is fine, but I feel that how the mountain is built is also important.
