Dont you hate it when people follow you, thinking your going to steal something? Options

[nightsong]

Yes, but not too much. An employee from Zumiez asked to check my bag once, but then I didn`t take anything.

I hate employees who try too hard and pressure you into buying things.

xo, Pauline

[*stephinika*]

hmm yeh it depends on the store. i just say "no thanks." in a firm, polite way and they leave me alone so yeah. they don't bother me about stuff usually. i've been lucky.

[gelionie]

I feel uncomfortable if some shop assistant comes over when I'm just browsing around the shop... sometimes it even turns me away from buying stuff.

[rockmyx]

it happens to me alot. l know its annoying but l just dont mind them.

[xGlovex]

never happened to me..i think its going to happen eventully though

[emmalie]

I just hate it s0 much.

[*Weird addiction*]

i hate it! it makes me feel like a thief

[HongKongDong]

Damn.... happened again last night.
Me and my friends were kickin' it at the mall last night, walkin around checkin stuff out.
Once again, security guards on our backs! Only two but still.... come on!
Just because of the way we dress!

We were looking through a Knife Gallery, my friend was blabbering something about a knife then my other friend said "Shut up, or else i'm gonna take that knife and shank shank shank you with it"

All of a sudden a deep voice behind us said "Well, if your gonna take it make sure you pay for it first"

*Evil Glares* "..."
"What if I don't want to pay for it?"
"Then some bad stuff is going to happen kid"
*We laugh*
*We leave*

exactly! I went with my dad 2 bloomingdale's to look at some suits - expensive ones, and the guy kept saying "how may i help You?" "do you need any help with that?"

[xXirockhardXx]

It happens to me and my cousins all the time. One time I went in a store with my cousin and we were looking at the shoes and i was telling her how i would like to buy those shoes (which i could of but didnt feel like it) and this guys comes up to us and sayd "you guys need any help?" and were like no thank you were just looking so he leaves and while were looking all over the store he kept following us and kept asking us the same thing!! OMG he was so annoying!

[Just_Dream]

Eeek.. Man I hate it whent hey look at you all the time. I know there have been times at stores where I'm looking at clothes or some stuff, people watch me. One time at Sanrio surprises I was behind a shelf os stuff and this lady is like a foot away and followed me. I turned around and she pretended to be fixing stuff. Sanrio surprises is somewhat small, but she followed me around.

And at this one store in the Phuc Loc Toa (or however you spell it) in Santa Ana, it's called Sunsations and this asian lady was following me.. It was scary... Pssh and after that, I stopped going there.

[mouse_3k]

I get that all the time in stores. its cause im black..>_<

[sheepy]

it ALWAYS happen to me. i mean; privacy please.

[s0pnayish]

Yeh, it makes annoys me when people think I'm gonna steal something. Especially at this market near my house, I don't like going in there because they seem to be watching the younger folks, expecting them to steal something .

[xj_liana_tx]

it happened to me too, adults just don't really trust kids. well when i am actually stealing something, no one suspects a thing.. how ironic

[emmalie]

^ gah , i guess dats why they dont trust teens.

[*xcaitlinx*]

it only happens to me at department stores. at the mall....i never really see any security guards following people around. even when kids [13+] are smokin cigarettes..they still dont care.

[ItzOnlySydney]

that happened to me in sears the other day. i was just lookuing if they had any attachments for my ipod. and just browsing then i look up and this guy is like 5 ft. from me and he says "need any help?" i said "no thank you i am just looking" and he says "ok call me if you need anything" then i walk through the aisles and i keep seeing eyes staring at me from the other side. that happened the whole time i felt very freaked out lol.

[loljuliana]

They only ask us if we need help, and if we say no, then they leave. But they still watch us. o_o

[Kenado]

It happens to me if I'm in the store with my friends. This usually happens to kids from 13-17 in my opinion

[misoshiru]

yeah. they do that all the time in asia. they keep on looking over my shoulder too. it annoys the heck out of me.

[JC4P]

as soon as i walk into a "respectable" as in not for teen store all the guards and shit stare at me cuz i'm middle eastern and they think all middle easterns are "Terrorists" but when i go somewhere like Hot Topic , its asll good.

[*lolita kitty*]

yesss! ive had that happen before, its so discusting. i went into claires one time and when i went up to pay this womn held my bill up to make sure it was real and then she marked it with some special marker and tried to see if it was fake.

i dont steal, i promise! gosh.

[miss barnes]

I get that all the time in stores. its cause im black..>_<

yea...me too.

[xlaydee_v]

yeah that happens to me every single time i go the mall or to the store. they always ask if i need help. wdf? -_-;; i would ask if i did. and they follow me and my friends a lot JUST CAUSE OF WHAT WE WEAR, like a lot of you guys mentioned. i wear ecko red, rocawear, baby phat, etc. they're such hypocritical retards. errr.. and then they listen into our convos too. fags.
