These guys are probably dangerous. I bought some gum. The guy behind the counter ripped the pinpad out of my hands and threw out the receipt.
This scared me. I asked for the receipt. The guy behind the counter then got really mad and said that I didn't want it. I persisted that I wanted proof of my transaction. He then started to call me words like, "deranged", "crazy" and swore at me.
I stood my ground. I was concerned that he was trying to steal my debit information. All the while I was very polite, yet direct.
He started to say, "I'll call the cops! " and, "come behind the counter and get it out of the garbage! "
I don't think I really need to say more... I eventually convinced him to reprint my receipt so that I could get the hell out of there! (No way I was going behind the counter. Did he have a gun?).
I've never been so scared to buy some gum! I'm really worried that someone is going to get hurt by giving these guys business!
