Traveler forced to unpack every single box after customs officer cleverly complies with his demands to 'proceed by the book'

Have you ever heard the expression, 'You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar'? The best example of what this statement signifies is found in the story that follows.

OP establishes the scenario at the beginning of the story. OP is employed by the customs department. As such, a great deal of the day's events hinge on whether those who cross the border assist border patrol agents in carrying out their duties or make their lives more difficult by disobeying them. The story begins with OP at work, attempting to go about his business quietly, when Mark (fictitious name) pulls up in his posh black SUV and demands to be let through the border without any checks or security procedures. To be honest, I don't think there would have been any issues if Mark had handled the matter with more grace and politeness. But, since Mark was only seeking problems, OP made the decision, with the assistance of his supervisor, to teach Mark some humility.

So, if you're interested in learning how OP got even with the entitled traveler, scroll down and check out the story below! When you're finished, don't forget to read the account of the so-called 'professional' graphic designer who refused to accept responsibility for her mistakes!
