    no one is on a high horse, i'm not the one calling for someone to sue a shop because they are quite reasonably concerned with preventing shoplifting. i'm not particularly concerned with fitting in with 'that attitude', my opinion is my own and doesn't need to gel with yours as far as i'm aware.

    curious how you're staunchly against compensation culture yet call for someone to sue when they've incurred no loss.

    Yet again jumping on that high horse. Quote where I told the OP to sue over it. You're right, your opinion doesn't need to be the same as mine. But apparently you're deciding my opinion for me too.

    Oh and btw, compensation is not just paid when someone incurs a loss. There are other reasons it is due.

    Perhaps you need to read what is actually written rather than reading what you want to read.

    Come on, it's not rocket surgery is it?

    You can't voice my opinion for me, yet you certainly tried to as highlighted above. Like i said, read what is written please without twisting my words.

    If you think your above post that i've highlighted parts of is correct and accurate then by all means, quote where i've said that.

    again, no one is twisting your words or voicing your opinion for you. i'm at a bit of a loss at this paranoia you're displaying that i am somehow able to decide or voice your opinion.

    it's a very strange and flawed methodology you seem to be employing here continually saying that i'm deciding or trying to decide your opinion for you.

    i'm not sure what such an argument is achieving to be honest

    You know i read on a few other threads members calling you a troll. I actually thought they were being mean to a new member. Now i'm beginning to see exactly why they were calling you a troll.

    Just supposing I was stopped as I left a shop on suspicion of shop lifting and the shop wants to search me, can I insist on waiting for the police to arrive before the search commences?

    if you say so. seems like you've run out of things to say when you start with the trolling angle though.

    not to worry.

    This is where it helps to be assertive.

    "I've paid for this, go and check with the !!!!ing checkout assistant if you don't believe me. Now I'm going home. Get out of the way"

    It beats hanging around trying to get them to see sense by spending many minutes or even hours pleading with them.
