Is it Discrimination for a Store to Monitor a Blind Shoplifter

I'm sorry, but am I the only one going to hell for wondering how the hell OP saw them following her all this time?!?

One aspect of her disability is that she walks - well I guess limps would be more accurate - backwards.

Uh-oh suddenly she's no longer ruminating, she's blind - wow things get more interesting every minute!

Perhaps she is not truly blind and wants to sue under the perception of having a disability clause!!!

Only one? You mean like that other poster that brought it up in post #5

OP is legally blind.

OP is caught stealing after being followed.

The blindness didn't cause Chelsea to rethink the decision to steal - she sure as hell isn't going convince anyone it was illegal discrimination.

Oh, Chelsea? Stop stealing. And stop playing the "Oh but I'm legally blind and and and and you can't be mean to me and you can't have me followed and arrested for stealing and oh what do you mean I was actually caught stealing that's not fair!" card.

I'm hearing impaired and have a back injury. I guess that is why they followed me, huh? Not because I was trying to find something to steal?

no, they followed you because you were suspicious and their suspicions were shown to be valid by the fact you were in fact stealing.




Ya know, it is really REALLY stupid to steal if you are a blind person. How do you know who is watching you? In fact, how do you know they were following you at all?

and your insanely close would be to your eyes, like in right out there in the open, about or around head level, kind of above the shoulders and above any place on your body that would allow you to conceal the merchandise,


unless it was Q-tips or pick up sticks. You could shove those in your ears to hide them.

Ah, birds of a feather...

If you are blind how did you know security was following you?

Yo, people.

Do y'all not know what "legally blind" actually means?

It doesn't mean "completely unable to see", put it that way.

Yeah, I know. But it was too excellent an opportunity to be a butthead for me to pass up.
