Why? Maybe he likes the Jeep. Why should he have to change like that
to avoid this kind of situation?

Yeah. It's wrong. Damn I am sorry it happened.

Myself, I would have walked up like I was going to do ATM Business and
confronted them in some sort of manner like "Don't worrk honey, I am
too short to see your pin number" or "Bet you expected Robert Redford
huh?"

I would have done anything in my power to make them as uncomfortable
as I could. I mean Eye for an Eye right? And if I had gotten the
chance I might have made it even more direct to drive the point home.

Whenever I sense that sort of thing I confront it directly. What the
hell. I am NOT about to....no,  I absolutly REFUSE to let some petty
airhead take away my self dignity and pride damnit! Not without
exacting a measure of their discomfort in return.
