There is no evidence at all they responded with any snide remarks or attitude, yet this is what you believe happened.

If you didn't make that up about the attitude and snide comments then where did it come from?

Oh, looks like I was wrong. You weren't lying; you were just too stupid to understand basic English.

Here's the WHOLE paragraph (emphasis added):

They were asked for an order for which they refused. They were probably told to either buy something or they need to leave. At hearing this, they probably made some snide comment which was probably taken by the employee(s) as attitude (or they responded with an attitude) at which point they were probably asked to leave. They probably thought this wasn't serious and continued to wait and instead of giving them another warning or two, the employee probably just called the police. 

See, paragraphs are a group of sentences that go together because they share some kind of commonality: usually a common thought. Taking one of those sentences mid-paragraph and extracting it as if it's NOT part of a paragraph takes away the context. In this case, without the context, one would miss the fact that I'm sharing my OPINION of what happened.

Apparently, even WITH the context, it seems one missed the fact that I'm sharing my opinion.
