I would have told him to call the cops honestly. What are they going to do? You've done nothing wrong, in fact, you're the victim of harassment. In a just world they would ream out the idiot security guard for wasting police resources.

I did...several times and laughed at him and asked what he planned to tell them i'd done. By that point, i was feeling fairly adversarial and was in the process of purchasing the needed pens, so i stopped giving a shit. He didn't have an answer for that but he pulled his phone out and everything just, didn't dial for some reason.

I even told him i'd wait for them to show up and we could all have a nice talk. By that point, the cashier had finished, he'd made no move to call so i left. He kinda followed me to the door and just stood there while i walked away.

I feel kinda bad for the cashier. He was young, looked like a highschool student or something. He looked really uncomfortable and really tried his best to be completely uninvolved. I was extremely polite with him. Told him to have a good evening and thanked him profusely for the pens. This seemed to anger the security guard more.
