Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML

Did the place you went to not have security cameras? Most retail stores do. If so, why didn't they just review the tapes? I remember when a store thought I stole a purse from them, I simply told them I paid for it, gave them all of my information and walked out. I'm not going to sit around and be accused of something I didn't do. They are rent-a-cops not actual police officers. They can't legally detain you, unless they have a valid reason. Since they didn't see you shoplift or had someone else tell them you shoplifted, they had no reason.

I always worry this will happen to me, because it's not like you carry every receipt you ever get on your person. But good job on keeping your clothes looking brand new I guess. :)

I always think this is gonna happen to me because I basically shop at just 1 store... I actually just bought a pair of shorts that were the same ones I was currently wearing yesterday. I'm always wearing clothes into that store that they're still currently selling :P

Instead of examing the T-shirt, why didn't they just examine the damn security video?

8- because that would have been too smart an idea. OP, had you left the store yet? Did they check the change rooms? They had no proof... video cameras should have been checked, as 8 said, and they're morons. Don't shop there again.

I always have that in the back of my Ming when I bring my things into a store that sells the same thing. I never thought it would actually happen though.

Fuhohohoho... This is why I don't like to go shopping while wearing something I'd bought at that store... Oh-so awkward.

Actually the only way they can detain you is if they see you shoplift, otherwise they can't really do anything. Oh an if you leave the store they're not legally allowed to chase you since you're bot on the property anymore.

Huh? that doesn't make any sence. you can always walk in with a tshirt on and switch them in the fittingroom.

And there would be the evidence still sitting in either the fitting room or OP's purse, assuming she has one.

I know we Americans love to say "Sue!" for everything, but you can actually sue the clothing store for that.

OP, you're actually pretty lucky. You CAN sue for that, and Wal-Mart, for example, likes to settle out of course for something like 8 grand. Easy money!

You were treated very badly. I don't honestly think that this would be a good use of the legal system, but I think you should write a letter to the owner of the store or, if it's a chain, that person explaining why you will not be shopping there again.
