A Confrontation at the Store?

James attempted to stand his ground against the security guard but it didn't seem a fair match up while he was fully naked. He needed that toilet roll though.

"Please, I'm a nudist and I have the right to my lifestyle" James found himself lying "I have one thing to buy and I'll be going"

"I'm sorry sir, you don't have the right to be naked in this store" the guard spoke more firmly this time "Go home and put some clothes on or I am calling the police!"

A small crowd had formed around the naked customer and the security guard and both men seemed embarrassed by the stand off. James realised this was getting serious. If the police became involved, not only would he fail to complete Rebecca's orders but he could end up with a caution from the police, or worse. He had been told he should use his emergency phrase only when absolutely necessary but he was pretty sure this was one such occasion. He motioned for the security guard to come closer into earshot and the store employee reluctantly complied.

"It is normal for me to be naked"

At once the demeanour of the security guard changed. He no longer seemed either annoyed at James or uncomfortable with his nudity. If anything, he seemed a little embarrassed to have made a fuss about it.

"I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you sir. Please feel free to shop at your leisure" the guard smiled apologetically.

"What?!!" A well dressed, angry looking middle aged woman blurted out on hearing this. Like the rest of the shoppers she had not heard the safety phrase and was therefore unaffected by it "You can't be serious?! You are letting this pervert walk around in public like that with children present?!"

"It is normal for him to be naked" the guard explained "Think of him like an animal that doesn't need clothes. You wouldn't expect a dog to dress to come in here would you?"

"But he isn't a dog!" the woman answered incredulously.

"Excuse me!" James attempted to extract himself from the argument and headed towards the aisle where the toilet paper was kept. To his dismay, he could hear the woman's voice and loud, purposeful footsteps following him.

"Excuse me! Don't you walk away from me!" the woman called angrily after James "I can call the police too you know!"

James sighed and turned around. He had already said the safety phrase once and didn't want to use it again so soon if he could possibly help it. It looked like he was going to have to just stand there naked while the angry woman gave him a public dressing down in front of an increasing crowd of intrigued onlookers. As humiliating as that would be, he hoped then he could move on without further delay.
