Man, oh man could I tell a story about a run in with a security guard and, subsequently, the police. Don’t be a jerk is excellent advice. Been there done that got the pat down.
Thanks Ben!

Loved the topic on the show today. I try to treat the people with respect if they treat me the same way. One thing I would point out though is the importance of having your receipt. Too many times people don’t want it and the tellers pitch it. If you are stopped then you could be SOL. I have been stopped by the police after leaving the gas station when paying at the pump was new. Luckily I had the receipt to show them.
