that has happened to me recently only it was at rite aid

Oh wow, I'd hate that happen to me. Sucks it happen to you and in your favorite go-to store no less! When that happens, I stop shopping there for a long time in spite but always go back lol.

That's weird though - I never been in a CVS so I dunno how they are but I'm always in Rite Aid for hours just looking at the cosmetic aisles and no one says a thing for me. Lol. They prolly think to themselves, "that girl needs it... let her stay there awhile longer" haha.

But, yeah - maybe a complain would work? I'd think upon returning - the employees will look at you all weird... that's what sucks.

I'm glad you complained, cause that's really crappy! I would have been furious if it happened to me.

Hell yeah!
I've worked retail and 3 of my kids worked for private loss prevention companies and it IS illegal to stop you unless they saw you take something and attempt to leave the store with it.

It is grounds for a lawsuit.

They sound like jerks and I would have felt upset and humiliated. I'm glad you called their HQ about it!

The laws are different all over the place, but where I live unless they see you pick up the item and are able to track you for the moment you picked it up to when you leave the store without paying for it, they cannot search you or accuse you. If they lose site of you for even a minute, they can no longer accuse you. Granted between loss prevention and cameras, most stores can follow you pretty much every where but the bathroom and changeroom. If I were you I would complain to their head office, to upper management in the store, and I would refuse to shop there again. That is not acceptable!

I'm glad you complained! You have every right to be angry.

***La_Mari*** · 09-05-2008, 02:59 PM

There was a lady customer that told me the same thing happened to her, she had like a bulge on her stomach and they called the cops and she showed them her feeding tube. The person got fired, but I'm not sure if she sued, I would have!

Modirty80 · 09-06-2008, 01:58 PM

Wow. I am sorry that happened to you. I have had similar experiences and it makes you angry and feel like crap at the same time.
I'm glad you complained though! That's not something to let slide.

HOW OFFENSIVE! They had no right doing that especially if they didn't visually/physically see you put something in your bag...HOW RUDE! They just can't assume...They're not suppose to do that! I would contact someone from Corporate.

***sweetnsexy6953*** · 09-11-2008, 09:10 PM

Unless they see you put something in your bag or in your jacket they cant search you. Where I work if your being followed and whoever is following you turns their back for 30 seconds and you take something, they cant go after you cuz they took their eye off of them. Even if they know you took somethng they cant go after you cuz they didnt see you take it. So for them to go up to you like they did isnt right. They didnt see you so they have no right.

That is so rude! Honestly what the ****?

I had a similiar experience at Walmart. I had just bought a necklace and some lip gloss and Im walking out with my bag and receipt and everything, and the beeping things by the door go off. Im like, huh? They tell me to come over to the cash register again, they had to scan my stuff again, and then they had the nerve to ask to search my purse. I could legally refuse but I wasn't guilty so I showed them and got on my way. Again as I was leaving it beeped, that time I just left.

Ive never been followed or watched in a store? Do they do that in Canada?
