Well, a bit of an update. I think that this experience is going to make me a *less* nervous shopper because I don't want to arouse their suspicions and have the cops called on me again. One thing one of the cops asked me was "Why were you looking at the cash register so much?" (I was looking at it to see if the line was going down so I could walk right up and buy what I wanted and get the hell outta Dodge!!) So, no more of that...I won't even so much as glance at the till! That's it, no more nerves for me, if only because I don't want to go through this BS again!
Okay, there were at least two SA's in the store and the one that was watching me like a hawk was definitely not young. It was after dark but not close to closing time.Originally Posted by TerriM
I fail to see how this has anything to do with 'acting my age' . Last time I checked people of all ages get nervous.
Good one, StevieWow! The Xmas shopping season was so disappointing to retailers that they're having people arrested if they don't buy anything. That's desperation!
Incidentally, I want to thank everyone for their support. In the end, I think the store did go overboard, but there's nothing I can do about it now except be more confident in the future so as to not arouse their suspicions....I don't know if I ever want to set foot in that store again even if I were "allowed" to. Screw 'em
