I don't know how stuff works over here, but I know that some big electronics stores have security guards who actually take people into back rooms and lock them in there for the police to pick them up. They're usually kids.
I also had one security guy ask me to show me what was in my backpack as I left the store - not when I was a kid, but like a year ago. I told him to fuck off, and he was a little pushy for a while and then got lost. I was pretty sure he had no authority whatsoever to ask that (no one but the police has), so I figured I'd take my chances. And it's not like he was some 7-foot bouncer ready to work me over in the parking lot for it. Statistics: Posted by Rinox — Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:01 am
