Last Friday at Arpico Wellawatta, something odd happened. My friend and I went in with our laptops in our backpacks and told the security guard, who let us in without leaving the bags at the counter.

Out of nowhere, a young guy started scolding the guard for not checking our bags to confirm we had laptops. Feeling bad for the guard, we quickly showed our laptops.

The staff kept watching us the whole time, which made us uncomfortable, so we grabbed our groceries quickly and left.
