Have you ever been accused for stealing? *PunkStarChik*

Hey peoples :)

This is one of my major pet peeves. Sometimes when I walk into a store, I can feel the workers there eyeing me as if I was about to steal something. I hate that so much! It's as if they're judgeing me how I dress, that I look like someone that steals. Know what I'm saying?

A couple years ago, I was in Kay B Toys store with my bf at the time and my brother. When we walked into the door, I over heard one of the co-workers saying to another co-worker, "If they steal something, we'll call the cops" or something like that.

We looked around the store and my brother bought some Voltron Toy for 40 bucks and we left the store. Just when we were about to get close to my car, the manger stepped right up to me and my bf at the time and said:

"You stole 100 dollars worth of Poke'mon cards last week. If I ever see you in this store again, I will call the cops" She turned around and went back into the store.

I was smiling at first because I thought that she was joking. I didn't know that she was the manger or even a worker there because it was something that we we'ren't expecting. I thought it was just a joke that someone was playing on us. But When I saw how serious she was, I was furious!! We were being accused for something that we didn't do!

I went to another store not too far away and called the toy store to speak with the manager. (I didn't know that it was the manger that yelled at us) The manger had answered the phone and I told them that I was furious that they accused us for stealing. And you know what she did? SHE HUNG UP ON US!

This made me even more peeved. I really wanted to sue that store for what had happened. But my dad said that he would talk to the manager. So he did. I stayed in the car because I was still upset.

My dad came back and told me that someone that looked like my brother stole 100 dollars worth of Poke'mon cards and that it was okay that me and my bf at the time could go back into the store but my brother couldn't go back into that store because my brother looked like the theif. That was so unfair!!

My dad didn't want us to go through all that sueing stuff because he thought it was a waste of time...blah blah blah.... Even to this day, I am still furious about what happened. I have never stopped foot in that store ever again.

Another time, I was walking out of Hot Topic and the alarm went off. I had a bag of clothing that I bought from another store. One of the workers stormed out of the store, grabbed my bag and looked inside it. The other store, (this was in a mall) had forgotten to take off the sucerity (sp?) tag off and it didn't go off when I had left that store. That worker made me feel like she was thinking that I was a theif.

Ugh.... I just hate it when people accuse me for stealing. I don't steal!!! Has anything like this happened to anyone else? What would have you done if you were in my shoes?
