superb...good comeback ken my friend, sorry you had such a stress-filled day but this was quite a funny story. reminds me of a time that me and another mental health-challenged friend were having a quiet drink in a pub,these two really sleazy guys were coming on to us and one said 'i bet two gorgeous girls like you get men asking you out all the time' and my friend replied really loudly 'actually no,we are highly medicated freaks', their faces were a picture, still makes me giggle now...

I understand you on this one Ken....

The last time someone touched me (just by placing their hand on my wrist), it scared the crap out of me.

Oh no.... Person was someone I knew but we weren't close enough for him to even put his hand on my arm.....

Freaked me out thoroughly....

Gosh, sorry to hear that happened. I tell ya... This technology has come to kick our lovely butts... ~sarcasm/grumble~ You just gotta love it....

Most clerks do have manners, are trained to be polite at all times to customer. Sounds like you found the only one that flunked that course.

We all have our triggering points, true the clerk didn't know, still should have shown you respect and used the manners.

Bet he will think about doing that again, so see you taught him a lesson. You reacted, no need to apologize for that.
