There are sometimes where I think that knuckleheads are doing it to make a point or intimidate (which is wrong on evey level) someone. I have seen it happen many times where TSOs are not really paying attention to the fact that they snapped them (which reinforces the subconcious angle). Just my 2 cents.
Almost everyone upon reaching adulthood can read if a person is trying to intimidate them.

Surely a person KNOWS if the clerk is snapping the gloves innocently or doing it to intimidate??

If you were putting on gloves like normal and just happened to snap them, I hope I could "read" you correctly. Something wrong if I couldnt
