Show of Hands

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

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.

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

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,

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

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"

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.

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


Sorry Rainey :(

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.

Rainey. :( You didn't deserve this.

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

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

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

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

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
