do u feel sometimes like your a shoplifter? had a security guard today following me around and follow me outside and watch me walk away. It was a supermarket and had to walk back through the checkouts past paying customers without buying anything anyone else feel the same to?

Went into a shop yesterday to buy something, prices were extortionate so decided to leave and go down the road and upon leaving the owner started shouting at me and my friend to open our bags because he thought we'd stolen something just because we'd not actually bought anything

true used to work in somerfields and you could never ask a customer to empty their pockets etc until they walked out the shop.
loads of people get away with that one. unless you're stupid enough to stick around inside the shop and the manager calls the police.

Done something similar before though. With the pick 'n' mix at ASDA. At the time of picking its something like £3.00, by the time you get to the till after walking round, its not worth buying

Toys R us and some other retail chains are clearly are designed to make it difficult for you to exit easily without making a purchase!

Its the worst in quiet designer clothes shops... when the owner is standing there and you look round and dont fancy nothing and walk out, he watches you walk out and going through your head is "Is he thinking that I think his stocks shit"
