Funny either way, but more effective when the idiot employee is a younger male & the customer being harassed is a more adult woman.
Most men are squeamish that way.
(My last fiancee was an engineer for a mega conglomerate that, among other things, made "feminine products"*, so he's an exception.)
((
*I think a Glock is a feminine product, esp. the subcompacts, but his company made paper products.))
Better yet, "tampons & ammunition... why do you ask?"

Why be so confrontational? Just say, oh okay I will leave it in the car next time.
How is expecting the employee to follow state law & corporate policy, or even explaining said laws & policies, confrontational?
And since you are yet another anti-carry troll, you obviously won't understand the problems from doing what you recommend, but I'll take a shot:
1) Handling gun in parking lot --> ND
2) Handling gun in parking lot --> MWAG call
3) Leaving gun in car --> theft --> BG having gun
4) It encourages the minimum-wage employee to think s/he is allowed to make corporate-level decisions
5) It encourages the minimum-wage employee to think s/he knows the truth about the law & corporate policy
6) Why help them deny civil rights to their other customers?
7) Why would I spend money somewhere that doesn't want me as a customer?

Make your purchase and leave.
See #7.

You may have the right to carry
We do have the right.
troll said:
if an employee says you can't carry and asks you to leave it is game over
If the objectionable employee is the de facto manager, as in the gas station example above, yes.
In the situation given by the OP, and in most other stores, no way. The manager might be able to make that decision. The owner & corporate legal department certainly can.

That will just lead to a no weapons sign on the door so nobody can carry in there.
No WallyWorld that I know of has kept one once corporate was notified about it.
Generally the offending sign comes down quickly & often the customer gets an apologetic call from the manager.
That's usually what happens once managers are made aware of employees like the originals the OP ran into.
BTW, I support the idea of writing corporate to complain about their behaviour. All of it, but especially making fun of you & not providing customer service as you left.
Out of curiosity, how many people have the WM 800# in their cell phone for times like this?
That would probably be pretty effective too, if it was during their "normal business hours".
