Today, I was accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. FML

Most people just look around and keep walking if it happens while they're entering

How does this happen as one enters a store? Was anyone else exiting as you came in?

Yeah, I had that happen to me. I had bought a purse that still had an alarm gadget in it The old lady at the Walmart was all "I want to see in that bag." and I was all--"uh, no." She then proceeded to call security. I laughed and left. Sorry. You don't get to go thru my bag as I am walking in the doors.

Security may not be allowed to, but technically they are allowed to detain you until the real police arrive. They actually can do that.

My response when it comes to security/random employees wanting to check a bag is "not without a warrant sport" and keep walking. They want to call the police, be my guest. By the time they get around to showing up two or three hours later I'm more than likely long gone.

They seem as dumb as their own security system. Kinda beats the purpose then.

I work in a store and it is not uncommon for professional thieves to ensure the sensor goes off when they come in, make a big deal about it so everyone sees they came in when the sensor goes off. They then leave with stolen goods and say it went off when I came in remember..

Tell them to review the cctv footage. They will be able to of traced your movements. Then when its revealed you haven't taken anything ask about your compensation for deformation of character and embarrassment you had to endure......assuming your innocent of course.

You probably mean 'defamation'? You can only claim that if you can show you actually suffered due to their actions, which I highly doubt...

I hope you gave 'em hell when they realized you didn't have a single item of merchandise on you.

Happened to me once. These kids took the sticky detectors and put in front of the door. So I got it stuck to my shoe going in and of course going out too
