Of course every decision is not correct, but the previous responses were written as if the purpose of the decisions that management made was to inconvenience or harass people, rather than simply an effort to stay in business.

I didn't get that at all. A little bit of trying to discourage shoplifters. Maybe you read a different thread.

If they have to harass people to stay in business, perhaps they shouldn't stay in business.

Whether or not they should stay in business will be determined by the success of a competitor offering customers something different.

I would not bet on it though.
