sorry, are you blamimg the security guard because you didn't realise/think about the honey...???
I'm not surprised he wasn't interested in a discussion,it's not really a grey area there, whether we agree with it or not.... when a forgotten bottle of water is found in my bag while going to work, I apologise, look sheepish, tell them I forgot it was there, I get a big smile in return, and we all go on with our day....
