There's also the fact that most comic book / game shops make virtually no profit. One dude slipping a handful of reference manuals and game modules into their backpack can easily tank their entire month if not quarter.
If he'd asked me to leave my bag at the desk, it would have been fine. If he hadn't come off as such a prick right off the bat, I would have asked him to watch it while I browsed. But no, dick from the get go.
