I also visit these stores, and hobby shops. I don't grope, at least not intentionally, except my SO.

The owner of this one is an asshat, and sounds much like the socially inept kid who groped Gilda. It reminds me of all those "proprietors" who constantly scream at their potential customers to stop touching the merchandise so they can sell it "right".

It was a dumb reponse, it fits a stereotype, and as you posted, there are exceptions that prove the rule.
