Edit: nobody was there from here but the OP. We are all only speculating. At the same time, I understand giving alternate perspectives and ideas. That actually can be helpful and I didn't mean to "speak for" MD. It just seems to me some people are telling MD not to feel the way they did. If I got that wrong, that's my bad.

On the contrary, I don't think people, myself included, have been invalidating of MD's
feelings, we have merely pointed out that the situation might have been misread. At no point did I suggest MD
shouldn't have been upset. What I did do was suggest there may have been a very good reason for the cashier's behaviour. Suggesting a possible trigger for the cashier's actions in no way invalidates MD's feelings. Yes, they are upset but stopping to think about the possibilities behind the event MD witnessed is a responsible thing to do. I think to stop and consider the whole picture is perfectly okay to do and I encourage doing so.
