Show of Hands

...way to make it More creepy..

Thank you. I just made a formal complaint. I feel a little better

All the time. I look just close enough to homeless and shifty to attract the interest of security and scatter civilians. It doesn't bother me.

I'm sorry Rainey :(

That absolutely sucks. I'm really glad that you filed a complaint.

Post every day or see if you can like their page and tag them in every post you make.

I'd follow you around a store, but that would be for other reasons.

I wrote a very long rant on the Facebook page and you'll never guess what happened...it was deleted

Id keep complaining then.

Dude that sucks. People are dicks. It's happened to me before too. For no reason too. I felt horrible and should have complained to management.

Clearly you are a very suspicious looking person....


Sorry Rainey :(

I think if I was aware of security following me I would ask to see the manager and ask why this is going on. They may be watching for someone who fits a description, but not you necessarily. Still, it sucks.

That's always Plan A!

I wasn't calling attention to myself, I wasn't doing anything suspicious. I have never in my life stolen. She made me feel so bad about myself. I hate it

Rainey. :( You didn't deserve this.

Yes but I was actually stealing stuff.....

Wtf! I'm glad you said something!
Security must have been bored lol

This is definitely worth a rant on the grocery store's social media page. Make it clear that they can't treat people like this.

Years ago I had a store manager flat out accuse me of pocketing merch while I was trying to figure out what kind of allergy meds to buy my girlfriend at the time. I've never been so humiliated and as a result will never shop that chain again.

Ha! :)

Which grocery store was it? I'm sorry Rainey that's f'd of them to do. Maybe they'd like a few SOHers complaining simultaneously on their social page :P

At one point, I was checking out an item from a grab box, and when I didn't like it tossed it back. The quick movement attracted a department store detective who thought I had pocketed it and searched me. He didn't even apologize. At 16, "just a kid"

oblivious. I browsed, bought nothing, & walked out... to be intercepted halfway down the mall. I opened the book & pointed to the stamp of my college bookstore on the inside. She said "Oh, OK," & they left. No "Sorry." No "Next time, do this..."

Wow rainey, that's horrible. Thankfully I haven't experienced anything of the sort.

I was left feeling humiliated, embarrassed (people were watching) & unaccountably guilty. I hated it. I can still see her face, & that was ~30 years ago.

And I hope you never will!

I was followed *out* of a bookstore once by a manager & 2 mall security guards. I had walked into the store carrying a book I owned, too large for my small purse. I tried to catch the manager's eye when I went in, but she seemed to be deliberately

No I refuse to do self check out. It will cost somebody a job.

It was neighborhood walmart. I've always hates walmart but this just put the nail in the coffin for me. It sucks because the grocery store is about 500 feet from my house. It was so convenient

That's awful Susan.

When I was in an H&M in Italy.
I have no idea why.
I guess I looked rough.

Nope I was the always the one following! For some overtime hours we sometimes during holidays were hired to work off duty as theft protection for different department stores,
