"Compliance" to Authority

[Shasta]

My dad taught me about flawed logic around the statement "a gypsy stole, therefore all gypsies steal" ...
If I were a restaurant manager, having a liability sort of authority myself, I would ask for his badge number, call-back number, and the precinct he works out of so that I can hang up, look it up in the phone book, call his superior, verify his case, and then get back to him.

Or have someone else call since the guy wouldn't let her get off the phone.
