If you ram them, they open. Mall security might have an issue but I just said 'Sorry, didn't notice was on the phone'.

Showed them my receipt and kept walking.

These aren't usually centre security at my store (I think they chill in an office and come if called) although the Coles at my former one hired their own security. My plan is to match their energy though. Not sure anyone remembers but a while ago I was at the coles at Melbourne Central and bought some cordial then realised I forgot to buy a bag after I'd already paid and the stupid thing didn't give me a receipt (just my luck, the register I chose had no receipt paper). Security bloke saw me paying for a bag with a tub of ice cream on the side and snuck up behind me and jump scared me almost screaming "YOU DID BOT PAY FOE THAT ICE CREAM". I know security people have a job to do, and a large part of their job is loss prevention, but after that I developed a bit of a personal policy that I won't engage with people if they're being disrespectful.

If they ask nicely, or at least demand respectfully that I show them my receipt, I'll oblige. Otherwise they aren't going to see it until they stop acting all above me

I've had a security guard (or Woolies employee) demand to check my bags. I said sure but they need to put everything back exactly as I had it. Exactly.

Shut them up real quick.

I've also had a security guard ask me to check my bags and I just said no, I'm on my way home. He was dumbfounded and stood there.

Tried and tested I see. Damn. I can guarantee the moment those touch me I will scream the loudest mother fucker they have ever heard.

I'd be happy with free groceries.

You're married to a Lebanese.... Minimum 2 million settlement

I'm sure there a dozen cousins (at least) that will volunteer as witnesses and co-victims.
