I don't look at him, pretending that he isn't talking to me. But he kept asking, 4 or 5 times, continuously. She rings him up and he leaves.

Sounds to me like you give him non-verbal permission to go ahead and be an asshole.

If you're there you just need to show that it's unacceptable. No one EVER cuts in line in front of me. I don't allow it. Period.

LoL, yep.

A buddy and I had this same thing happen at Lucky a couple years back.

He walked up past the long line, put his bottles of water or yogurt on the counter in front of our shit, and we took it off the counter and threw it on the floor, LoL. He still didn't seem to completely understand the message, and we ended up kicking his shit across the floor.

He flashed a police ID or something, keeping his cool, and we just pointed him to the back of the line, calling him cha-loi (rude).

He just hung around while we laughed at his ID, we got checked out and he went to start collecting his shit.

Everyone kept cool and tried to act like nothing had happened, but you could tell they were all like, "Daaaaaaaamn! He got owned!"

We were half expecting a confrontation from a Lexus riding gang when we got outside.

^ Agreed. Happens all the time in the States.

I've even had that happen here at Lucky with an Asian lady. Good on her.
