hence the headline Their considering me a thief by default has provoked me to spend elsewhere. The poor buggers manning the front door never gave me any grief for blowing them off, but the unanswerable managerial thought that put them there in the first place makes it a no brainier to shop elsewhere. And yea, that is despite the pull of preferring to fondle and drool on the merchandise in person.
