Absolutely agree with you, and there is a correct way to check bags and ensure people have paid. If you are a shop owner you train your staff how to handle these situations so people come back and spend more money. If you piss your customers off by making them feel like thieves then your business is going to lose money.

Get busy livin'...or get busy dyin'...

Hey did you pay for that? my son said yes I did... the guy then says do you have a receipt? my son again says yes I do.... then the guy asked can I see it? so then my son shows the guy the receipt! then the guy says ok and turns and walks away!

And knowing you Chuck, It must have been a hell of an attitude to piss YOU off. You have every right to voice your displeasure.

This is also a public forum, which RT has an opportunity to respond and publicly rectify the situation.

No offense, but unless the owner of said shop is a member of this site, this amounts to nothing more than a b*tching session.
Call, write or email the owner to express your displeasure with the events in question, and let him know what options YOU choose to employ regarding your future purchases.
If the owner is unaware of customer dissatisfaction, nothing will change. WHo knows, he may want to make things right for you and your son for the negative experience you received?

Hopefully they will rectify this issue, if not for you, for all others that may have been affected as well.

At least three employees of the shop are members of this site. This thread probably won't escape the boss' attention.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
