    I heard "Virtual Persons" is the preferred label.

    If you felt you were being unnecessarily "monitored", that's when you go up to the person and say nicely..."Excuse me, but I couldn't help notice you are following/spying on me. May I ask what it is about me that interests you?"



    I'm sure this would embarras the person so much that they would leave you alone. There are ways of dealing with situations like this that are better than running to a forum and venting your frustrations.



    I've never noticed it to be bad at all in Sydney. Even the security guards are really nice and friendly, often chatting to customers. I find the problem of over-zealous monitoring of customers to be far worse at places like high-end clothes shops or fashion stores.

    Exactly, walk into Best Buy in the US and just try to find a salesperson to help you, in the Apple Stores if they are not busy they will come and see if you need any help. That´s what makes Apple a success, they are active in trying to assist people.



    IMO the OP walks in with a pre-existing condition.

    ...she clearly wanted to harass a white guy with her creative suspicions, constantly glancing at my screen while chatting with a coworker.



    Wow. Just wow.

    Lots of people from the south respect the Confederate Flag that are not racist at all. In fact if you knew the history behind the flag you wouldn't think the way you do.



    I too thought it was strange the OP brought up race.

    Maybe he's posting from South Africa, where whites are terribly discriminated against.
