It's a question concerning shoplifting. No not filed I had a
No not filed I had a very uncomfortable experience a couple of days ago when I went into my local Superstore .I had some items in my cart they were very narrow they were lipsticks and could easily fall through the cart I intentionally set my phone on top of them to prevent them from doing this and prevent them from moving . I went through the self checkout and rang in my items I was finished and a person to find out after a security guard came up to me and bluntly reminded me I hadn't rung in the lipsticks ........it was obvious she had the impression I was trying to steal them .........I apologized and rang in the items she openly did not believe what I was saying and was unkind I afterwards talked to the manager and explained my situation he was kind and I left the store with no incident I was not asked my name or any information.Ive not sleep a wink worried that somehow there could be charges brought up against me as the security guard obviously believe I intended to shoplift I'm worried this security guard is going to tell people I'm a thief I'm completely mortified and full of anxiety...........No police were called .........should I be concerned for myself and potential ramifications concerning this incident........can the security guard openly slander my character? … read more
