+1

I woulda thrown the meat and hit them in the face with it and said "here yah go, have it back then if its yours"

Don't ever shop there again, I woulda yelled back at them and made a scene.

1. you should've yelled back, louder than those motherf#cks.

2. you mentioned the embarrassment of people looking at you in the store. How many of them know you or how often are you gonna see them again? chances are slim to none

3. take your shopping somewhere else, it's not like that's the only store you can shop to and after they've done to you, why do you wanna give them more business?

4. find out where those 2 pricks live and break their legs.

I used to be in management at a grocery store.. all through highschool and begining of college.

the first thing we tell people in training on the topic of customer theft is NEVER EVER accuse someone of stealing unless you physically see them take something take something and actually leave the store with it. Our company had been sued numerous times for wrongfully accusing people and lost. hence why the stressed this so much during training.

If you were to accuse someone and be wrong, it could leave to a lawsuit. Think about it.. that's pretty humiliating to be accused of theft in public... it's embarassing.. it's also defamation of character.

What store did this happen in?

Yeah I think that's standard retail training. It was like that at every job I ever had.

also to add to that, they would often settle out of court.

I'm not say you should sue them, but if it's a large corporation, you should definitly write a letter to their head office. make sure you stress how humiliated you were etc.

you may not get anything out it, but at the very least the fucks that accused you would get in some serious shit and you would get a letter of appology.

bingo. If this is any kind of a chain, with a carefully written letter, you will at least get some nice gift certificates!!!

very well possible.
could even be possible that they'd offer a small amount of money in exchange for signing something saying that he wouldn't sue.

we sometimes did that in the actual store. we had forms on file for certain incidents. The most common was for people falling/injuring themselves in the store. The manager would take them to the office chat them up. offer them a couple hundred bucks and get them to sign.

I worked for A&P by the way

and so if really every job you'd ever had was in retail, then you would have had a lot of really shitty low paying jobs. and you would probably be really poor.
