Edit: my other point seems to remain valid: by not following the sop it seems they saved you time... And I am a bit confused: you said you were very rushed for time, is that true or not?
Trust me, at the rate at which this guy was cherry picking things out of my bag, he was not interested in saving me time. While time was a driving factor, my reason for posting was wanting to know what those SOPs were.
