I went to the supermarket this morning to buy some cube steak for lunch and my eyes caught these new Red Bull Zeros (who btw taste disgusting) and decided to throw a couple in to my shopping basket. I go to the self checkout and when I'm done the cashier (or the self checkout inspector) tells me: Excuse me, you haven't paid for those energy drinks. I'm like wtf, what is he basing that on? He goes: There's a age limit on energy drinks and no one authorized your Red Bulls, so you can't have paid for them. Is he kidding me? Without even having taken a look at my receipt, he's accusing me of shop lifting? Rather than thinking maybe those Red Bull Zeros are new and aren't registered in their system as "ID required", he thinks I just bought a €40 cube steak and decided to not pay for €3 energy drinks? Either way I'm stuttering and realizing everyone passing thinks I'm a shoplifter and with my trembling hands I show him my receipt where it shows I've paid for my items and he starts apologizing but I'm so furious, I just just put on my headphones again and walk out of the store.
Would you have been terrified in this situation aswell? All those people who passed by, before I showed my receipt still think of me as a shoplifter. I'll probably never go to that store again.
So what's your "shoplifting" stories?
