The Art Of Violent Frisking

Yesterday on my way home after environment meeting in Sebokeng, around 4 o' clock I popped into Boxer Sebokeng Plaza to grab some bread.After making payment,on my exit the security guard asked for slip,which I adduced swiftly.To my dismay he made a further request to frisk me.I never *****.As customers make a bee line to exit,what merits other people to be frisked and others left after checking for proof of payment?The problem,I thought to myself is that some of staff members smoke things like marijuana during breaks to boost their ego and slow adoption of 4th Industrial Revolution.I am claustrophobic;therefore I habitually do not allow frisks,touching and hugs to mention some few

To diffuse tensions,I allowed him to frisk on condition that after he finished he allow me to talk to store manager about this unfortunate incidence.He proceeded,now with vengeance to also impress his collegues eho were looking on.He did this to offend my sensibilities

With 4th Industrial Revolution,the security gates could have prevented this melodrama.It is blissfull wonderment that Pick 'N Pay stores in Sebokeng Thabong Mall,there are no frisks and security gates are on exits and entrances.These gates prevent indignity and invasion of privacy that I was subjected to yesterday at Boxer in Sebokeng Plaza

The store manager seemed not to understand my assertions.She insisted the guard was doing his job,though I pointed out that he did it in a manner that was proffessional and in doing so profaned every value that I stood for.The guard ricked of smoke and was violent.Of great interest,how are people chosen to be frisked?If these searches must apply to everyone let it be so and not be arbitrarily since some of us are too unique to be subjected to these gimmicks.
