prove that I'm not a thief.

And you think I should treat him with a trifle of respect?

No thanks. I don't see his opening gambit of wanting me to prove I'm no
thief as demonstrating much respect on his part.

So, let me get this right....

Some social inadequate with dirty clothes and a personal hygiene
problem decides that he can enter private property and behave as he
likes with no consideration for the rules and requests that the owner
of the premises has asked him to follow by means of signs at the exit?

as he can't see these rules until he has entered, then why should he have
them imposed arbitrarily.

And you think the employees of the owner should treat him with a
trifle of respect?

I think they should remain within the law.

No thanks. I don't see his opening gambit of responding to a perfectly
polite and reasonable request with abuse as demonstrating much respect
on his part.

"go away" is not abuse. It is a perfectly reasonable response to somebody
attempting to keep you from going about your business.

If he is unprepared to agree to the requests of the owner of the shop,
he should perhaps refrain from entering the premises.

The owner of the premises should perhaps be explicit that entry onto the
premises is conditional upon acceptance of a random search on exit.
