Walked into Tescos last night...

I know what you mean about this automatic assumption that you are a criminal, but that is a fact of life these days unfortunately. We are the most watched nation on this Earth, with CCTV at every turn, wherever you go.

Maybe the security guard just wanted to see what colour pyjamas you were wearing!! Anyhoo, next time go in without the hoodie, but wearing an enormous, gay, YMCA style moustache.

Look, I fully understand that a security guard has to make a series of judgements based on very little information as to who presents a risk. I don't have a problem with that. He is perfectly entitled to keep a discreet eye on me if he thinks I could be a thief. Thats his job after all. We've all been followed round a store by a guard at some point in our lives, but again thats not my point.


Its being told to remove my hood that gets my goat.

The moustache idea is a big no-no by the way.

As I said earlier: you jumped the gun and threw your toys out of the pram when it wasn't needed and now you're too proud to admit you were wrong.

I agree with this.

Can I ask WHY you need your hood indoors anyway?

Thread has gone on far too long, OP did not respect the authority at hand, and thus shouldn't of entered without complying.

I don't really see why all this discussion is needed ^^

Stop posting then.

Because it can obscure your identity?

What's so hard to understand?

I popped in to buy some fags. Whether my hood was up or not was the last thing on my mind.

Surely it was when you were asked to take it down?

I understand mate.

I've been in shops countless times with or without a hood up no one has raised it before.

 

[stulid]

I can't see the problem with removing your hood. You were clearly trying to post here with some "is it cause I is black?" Agenda.

 

[Jono8]

Why did you not just take it down?

Oh right yeh i forgot, it's cool to fight the system isnt it.

 

[Tr Insanity]

I understand mate.

I've been in shops countless times with or without a hood up no one has raised it before.

So you understand why it's done, but still decide not to comply

 

[Redgie]

And then make a topic about it

Did you buy Rage Against the Machine at Christmas and rebel like a 12 year old too?

Militant black guy, you need to fight the oppression and confrontation.

You could try and make a point rather than come out with some unimaginative, well-worn and hackneyed phrases.

 

[trent]

oops Wrong thread. * backs away slowly*

If you're truly concerned with dispelling racial stereotypes, next time you're asked to remove your hood, do so and smile.

You seem like a nice guy, but thats probably not the impression you've left the security guard with.
