Imho its like you saying "i have a gun obviously im upset you need to exchange my coffee pot" why not just go unconcealed and decide to open carry mid conversation? I disagree with your tactic. Show them a drivers license instead. Bad move.
Yep. The fact that he says he needed to be "calmed down" says it all. I would like to hear the store's side of the story here. I'm willing to bet that they were just trying to deal with a difficult customer and took the CHL as a subtle threat.
I agree you get much better service being calm and courteous. BUT I have run into some doofuses at WalMart that could get one's ire stirred. They used to put the battery receipts in little pouches on the side and they disintegrated in no time. I returned a car battery that was nine months old and the "manager" refused to warrant the battery because the receipt was dust, even after I showed her both the date code sticker and the manufacture date stamped on the battery. She actually said there's no way to verify that I didn't purchase it before that!
I was able to keep calm anyway which was very hard. They record the battery info and date of sale in their system nowadays.
