You should've come in two cars parking at different ends of the parking lot, both buying something. I don't think he'd be able to catch both of your plates. Or, you could just cover your plates before you enter the store (just be sure to uncover 'em b4 you get to the street) ;)

Yes, and they would have called the police. At Circuit City, that is a sure sign to us that you are trying to steal something and I know it's the same way at Best Buy. I know they'd definitely call the police and report you for acting as suspiciously as that.

All I have to say is, BRING IT ON. If you're not accusing me of shoplifting, then there's no need to show you my bag.

And all I have to say is anyone who bothers so much to make the lives of people who work at BB miserable for only doing what they are told by corporate policy or their store manager really needs to rethink why they shop there then if they feel so "violated."

Not purchasing and taking your dollars else where will do more good than writing letters hoping to receive some kind of coupons or compensation which will only bring you back into the stores and repeat the cycle all over again.

Interesting... Policy breaking and Contract Killing
 

Anyone notice the other article on his page:

HIT MAN ON-LINE

Oh well. What a strange guy.

I avoid Best Buy, Good Guys and Circuit City. Why put up with the crap. I buy everything online, usually at better prices, delivered to my office, no annoying salespeople, etc.

just those pesky postal inspectors ... :D

especially when you get packages from Columbia...man, they rip those up as if you're already guilty.

I have no problem letting them check my receipt if it will deter shoplifting. A little of my time is worth the overall good of the public. Ultimately a decrease in shoplifting leads to cheaper prices for all of us. My problem is when they check only some of the people leaving. If they didn't check the person in front of me, I just walk out and do not let them check my receipt.

Completely off-topic but that book was actually the cause of a big court case not too long ago. The publisher was sued because the book was used by a guy who was hired to kill a guy's wife and kid (the child was handicapped.) The publisher actually lost because it was shown that the book, along with technical details on how to commit a murder, was full of inciting speech that could provoke someone to kill.

You can read all about it in Rod Smolla's Deliberate Intent. Good book if you're interested in law, true crime, free speech, etc.
