MissDQ tells us more.
OP here. Someone else pointed it out to the attendant that I'd been in there for a while and since I'm 'a kid' I MUST have been trying to steal something. The attendant just quietly asked if they could check my bags and stuff the same way they do if you leave the store without buying but have bags in your hands. I'm not big, but I do have big boobs. Some clothes go on fine but when you go to take them off they won't go over them and you start to panic. I'm a fairly standard size and I do often go one size up, but this was one of those sheer tops with the singlet underneath and those suckers don't stretch and it's hard for anyone to get them off if they're lucky enough to work out where their arms are supposed to go and can get the thing on. Heck, my mum is tiny and there's been plenty of times I've had to help her pull something over her head because she's stuck. It's not normally a store I shop at but was out with my family which I haven't done in a long time as I lived away till recently and they had a great deal, so why not ? I'm not going to sue them, there's no point ? The store didn't accuse me, some asshole who can't mind their business did. To top it off, I went through the self serve checkouts and the alarm went off as I walked out and the attendant pulled all the bras I bought out of the bag in the doorway to make sure they didn't have any of those big plastic security tags on them. I did have a DVD for another store in my bag and we put it down to that.

You should have explained those guys your condition there..
Since when is it not okay to take your time trying on clothes? You're trying them on for a reason, people need to lighten up
HAHA I've gotten stuck in pants before and just had to buy them while wearing them. There's no getting out of that shame.
That's why I always take more that one size of the clothing I'm trying on :) if you're stuck they are meant to help you though
I will say in many years of shopping (both as a kid and an adult) I've never had a store check my bag or ask to check my bag of I didn't purchase anything or took awhile in the dressing room. I'm of smaller size but with with DDD's and usually it does take time in the dressing room. Something else about your behavior had to be why they thought you were stealing.
it all really depends on the cities and states that you live in some places are more suspicious than others..
she stated in her post that some other customer was the one that said something to the employees. therefore it wasn't a fault of OP, but some suspicious old lady
That sounds like a bad day. I'm a size zero and I get stuck in shirts all the time! Drives me crazy. So many times I thought I was going to have to either rip the shirt or call an attendant in to help me (awk).
then maybe you aren't a size 0?

Hey OP, I know how ones breasts can make a shirt made from good fabric feel like a freaking corset, so I'm sorry for you. I'm glad to hear your opinion about this, and that you know the employee just did his work by appropriately reacting to a costumer complaint regarding you without being unneccessarily offensive´or rude. Hope your new bras will live longer than a couple o' months :D
