Re: I like this
said by willp1  :They do not have the right to police themselves. They provide a service they are not police. I used to run the night shift of a convenience store. We provided a "service". Does that mean I did not have the right to eject a certain person? Acting very suspicious in the vicinity of my liquor display.

| If you suspected or caught me doing something to harm your store - yes.
Your analogy is so flawed, it's laughable.
If you saw me buying a screw driver, rope and tape, and thought I was going to go rob someone - absolutely not.
YOU ARE NOT THE POLICE.

Sad thing is, if you do throw someone out, they call Corporate and complain (and lie their asses off) and you find out OH, you didn't have the right to do jack squat 
You're responsible for the inventory loss, but you're also not allowed to "inconvenience" a thief. Gotta love suits.

said by heliox :If you suspected or caught me doing something to harm your store - yes. Your analogy is so flawed, it's laughable. It is not an "analogy", it is a fact of law. And I did order a suspicious fellow out of my store. (Twice, actually; once under the circumstances I outlined, and once for making threats to a women who came onto the premises in a distraught state. Had to call 9-1-1 in the last case).
If you saw me buying a screw driver, rope and tape, and thought I was going to go rob someone - absolutely not.
If I had solid reason to believe that selling you certain merchandise would facilitate a crime, I certainly could refuse to make the sale. I have refused to sell certain merchandise to certain individuals; and not been reprimanded for it.
YOU ARE NOT THE POLICE.
So what. Do an Internet search on "citizen's arrest".
