OMG Bearflag…I feel an epileptic seizure coming on. Yes, you are correct and I am wrong. You actually CAN walk past the employee. I suppose, just for you, I need to be quite literal. You CAN’T walk past him without consequences.
You cited another case…WTF? Why the fuck don’t you just show him the goddamn receipt? If you refuse simply for the principal…then like the other poster, you pay the asshole tax. Do all your shopping online.
Why go to such lengths to be an asshole? Particulary at Fry’s, you know that they are there checking receipts as you walk out. If you don’t like it, don’t go there.
This is what I am talking about. My god, grow the fuck up!
You don’t get to appreciate that irony, since you were the jerk aggravating the situation in the first place.
Hey, you walk down my street, I don’t like your looks, I sic my goons on you. Consequences. You don’t like it, walk somewhere else.
Before I came on Board, I took the precaution of hiring Scott Boras as my agent.

This is golden. ‘Hangers-on’–ha. Who the fuck says that?
Attorneys-general do, when in courts-martial.
Why is Colibri a Moderator?
Because all that bird knowledge makes him damn sexy.
Liar, liar!!
Caught me reds-handed 
Careful there, sibilance is addictive. Before you know it you’ll be skulking around, mumbling “preciousssssss!”
Congratulations! You have made a leap all too few around here are willing to take. Dopers so easily forget that they are arguing about ideas, not the people behind them. And then they get all emotionally invested in their positions, their stubborn button gets stuck in “on”, and they will not concede any error. Even if they change their position, they will not concede that they made a change.
We need more folks like you around here.
Sadly, this is a very real reality in many neighborhoods in the US. Try walkin’ your candy ass down Acadia in Cali and see what the Acadia Block Crips think. Or how about the 5700 Arlington Park Bloods in Texas? But, I digress.
In the cases where the shoplifter challanged the security guard and the guy you walked past the Fry employee’s, what did they gain out of being assholes?

And he studies hummingbirds which are hot-tempered and have tiny, tiny brains – this experience should serve him well as a moderator.
Well, my groupies are fine.
I barely moderate at all any more, because I’m so busy lying around drunk and naked with my groupies in a great big pile.
Welcome to the Dope, jimmycat; I hope you’ll stick around and have some fun (along with fighting some ignorance).
Who am I? Nobody special, just a guy who likes make new Dopers feel welcome, on general principle.
Gruh?? Really? I thought you were a hummingbird.
Nah, he just took the name to lull the foolish into a false sense of security.
Has anyone else ever seen this many mods in one thread?
And fercryinoutloud, would somebody get Frank a beer? Getting beat to the punch twice in fifteen minutes has gotta suck.
We have a mod named Colibri??
OK, Phase One is complete, we’ve got them all in the same thread! And now…what was Phase Two, again? Shit. Pass the bong.
