I've decided to match the staffs energy. If they ask to see my bag respectfully I don't really want to be a dick about it, but I've had a door people that act like they're in Coles' secret service, or the Australian Federal Supermarket Police and I think those ones deserve it

I've always been respectful, but most bag checks are just a form of theatre designed to deter honest people from stealing and really just waste everyone's time.

The last time I had a bag checked was at Customs, which was sort of fun because I got to go through all my souvenirs again. The customs officers were very friendly about it too, so the supermarket people must be channelling someone else if they are grumpy about it.
