i know a lot of people say they are innocent, but nothing legal happened to me. i was just harassed by a store manager and his minion.
i was shopping at albertsons and decided to look at their makeup, i found something i was looking for, for weeks and i went crazy! i grabbed like 10 pairs and then realized the price of them were 10 dollars. so then i grabbed them and decided while i was shopping i would think of which ones i wanted. i then went to the grocery aisle and got what i needed.. while i was shopping i decided i didn't need the cart because i only had a couple things so i was taking my stuff out of the cart and the manager comes up to me and says "what are you doing? you dont need the cart anymore?" and i said no im fine and smiled, he then stood by me in front of customers while i was shopping for 2 minutes. he seriously embarrassed me so badly.. i didnt pay attention to him because i wanted him to leave me alone, and then i was just thinking, im gonna get out of here and pay for the food. so it put my stuff back in the cart and i put the lipsticks back, and then a worker comes up to me while im heading to the front and asks "where are the lipsticks?" and i said i put them back and she said "i didnt see you do that. i figured you couldnt pay. thats a lot of money." and then i stood there in disbelief, i then went straight to the manager and demanded he check my bag. and he refused because he knows he has no grounds. hes harrassing me because, i dont look wealthy enough to buy lipsticks? wtf. so i kept telling him, please do, and he didnt. then he said "i saw you take the lipsticks" and i said, "i did take lipsticks? but i put them back." he said "Are you done here?" and then i asked if i could pay for my items, and he said "yes then get out." then proceeded to take my cart and push it to the check out in front of the whole store, and then asked me "you didnt want those lipsticks?" i said no, because at that point i wanted to cry. i was so embarrassed and sad. i truly did nothing wrong and was treated so badly. i couldnt believe it. i paid for my items and left and on my way home i was just crying thinking how that could have been okay for him and that woman to do. im so embarrassed and i never want to go there again.
im just wondering if thats okay for him to do that really without proof? just because they didnt think i could afford that many lipsticks? please dont be mean to me, im just a little shaken up and truly curious. i hate shoplifters and i would understand if i was truly stealing.
