    Just a standard regional grocery chain. They dont have memberships but im not gonna make a scene over $40 worth of groceries i knew I had scanned properly so I just let her realize her mistake and decided not to shop there anymore.

    Just saying that the lack of pay doesn’t stop people from appointing themselves as volunteer loss prevention.

      You don’t make a scene, you ignore them and walk past them and through the door. You don’t have to prove you own the things you bought. Pretend you don’t speak English or just are confused and keep moving.

      I will say though I’d probably show them the receipt instead of call the cops, but that says more about what I think the cops might do than anything else.

        I just either ignore them entirely or say “no, thank you”, declining it as the request it actually is rather than the demand they try to imply it to be.

          Its sort of funny, if they catch someone shoplifting its the same thing. They will request they come back to a room and wait for the police but they can’t force them physically.
