While no company or persons working for a company are impervious to bad decision making, error, or thoughtless policy, as a person who worked for the Store for several years, including a few months at the store you are mentioning, I feel it necessary to explain something.
First, you wouldn't have been told to leave the store because of the scarf. You would, however, be told to leave the store after refusing to remove the scarf when asked. Second, you wouldn't have been asked to remove the scarf unless an employee or security believed you were sketchy. I understand the term Sketchy is very loose and open to interpretation. But you should understand that on a daily basis women enter the store wearing a Hijab and even a Ruband with no issue. During the winter months, people wearing scarfs tightly wound around their necks and mouths becomes a staple. On the other hand, homeless in the Chinatown and Pearl areas enter the store with their faces wrapped quite often, and further, during Antifa protests - they've entered the store with ski masks and scarfs, etc, and disrupted business.
I think the bigger issue you need to be aware of is the fact that the store is private property, and security has the right to dismiss persons as they see fit. If you have a problem with that, see my first and second points. What's more, how silly it is that a grudge for being removed has prompted theft and waste on your behalf. I bet you feel very proud of yourself, tool.
Yea stealing shit and throwing it away does not belong in the same sentence with the word principle. And yes, with all the people that cover their faces in the winter time around here I'm sure you were being shady as shit in the first place.
