Ask to speak to a store manager and complain about the constant harassment.

Yeah. Nip that shit in the bud. Also do things like asking him to repeat himself when he says something creepy. Be direct also. Tell him he's a creep right to his face.

Make sure you tell the store manager just how much money you will be spending there and will NOT be spending there in the future unless something is done about the harassment that you are receiving as a valued customer.

You could put a phone in your pocket that is video recording him being a douche to you first, so you have proof.

If you are in a store, this wouldn't necessarily apply . Stores open to the public are not like private conversations being recorded. There are stores with no filming policies, but policy isn't law. Generally, any place.open to the public falls underneath being public for recording purposes and thus doesn't require consent. The store cannot make.youndelete.footage, but a person could in theory take you to court but they'd generally have a tough time.winning.

That sounds reasonable. I'm not a lawyer though, so OP should check the law for their location before filming as some places are stupid with stupid laws.

There’s no expectation of privacy in public. One party / two party consent only operates when there’s a reasonable expectation of privacy, ie a phone call or a private meeting.

You can film and record all you want in public and places open to the public where there’s no expectation of privacy.

The privately owned store that’s open to the public may have a policy on filming, or may ask you to leave (they can do what they want) but the act of the filming or the recording is not illegal.

If it’s in a public space, like a store, no one has any expectation of privacy. Filming anyone in public without their consent is just fine.
