While shopping at the grocery store, I was blatantly being followed by security. At the self checkout, a worker asked if I scanned all the items then proceeded to watch me until I left. I have never been so humiliated. Has this ever happened to you?
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.
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
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.
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..."
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.
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
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
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,
