Mr. Elliott
Every time. I repeatedly say I have to see my stuff progressive louder each time. I will eventually suggest that if anyone steals or damages anything that the person I am talking to will be personally responsible. I am not angry, just firm.

The almost exact phrase I use: It is your SOP that I be able to see my possessions and I need to be where I can see my possessions. Do not worry about taking extra time. I have plenty of time to do this correctly. If you disagree, call your supervisor and an LEO, now.

Its been effective every time so far. I expect a failure at some time, but so far, so good.
