Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML

Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML
Today, while covering lunch for the self-checkout host, I noticed a customer walking away. I smiled and said, "Have a nice night!" A few minutes later, I saw that she'd left without paying on her machine. I'd smiled and waved at a lady as she stole from me. FML
Today, after getting home from shopping, I noticed a security tag was still on one of the shirts I bought. I decided to take it back and ask them to remove the tag. They then accused me of trying to steal (even after I showed them the receipt) and kicked me out of the store. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, while buying groceries, I noticed that the lady in front of me had left a box behind. I grabbed the box and ran out the door after her. After turning around to find three employees chasing me, I noticed I had just stolen the donation box. FML
Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
Today, I was shopping at Walmart, when I saw a really good deal on some bacon. Before I could take any, a huge-ass woman stormed over, kicked my cart down the aisle, and snatched every single packet for herself. And I actually got upset over this. FML

Security tapes?

Have them look at the security tapes. That'll clear everything up.

Why do people always make assumptions like that? Not every lady is the typical sweet old lady.

This sounds eerily familiar to a FML a few weeks back. Is this some new thing? Getting people thrown out of stores for "stealing"? What's the end game?

There were no security cameras? Did you have the receipt for the groceries? With it you could have proven that the goods are yours.

Where on earth was your receipt and the employee who processed your goodies through?

Since they were bagging their own groceries, its safe to assume that they were in a self-checkout line.

Not necessarily. In some countries you have to bag groceries yourself. However, there would have been a person at the register. It's probably safe to assume this was self checkout since she could have easily involved the register person.

Even self checkouts have cashiers attending them. And if that person was doing their job properly, they would have been paying attention to OP's groceries and checkout process, would have noticed the altercation between the two women, and should have been asked what happened.

sue the store, have the tapes admitted, you'll win

Enough with the suing! This is not a litigation-worthy occurrence. People like you need to step back from the courtroom and use common sense to figure out a way to resolve the problem. The above comments suggesting providing proof (in the form of OP's receipt) and pursuing the store's security videos, and then getting a refund/replacement, make far more sense.

You need to go to security first. If someone is crazy enough to get stuff out of your bag, they are too crazy for you to confront. This world has gotten to the point that you don't ever want to confront people directly and just have to rat them out to some authority. If I have a problem with my housemate, I don't confront his crazy ass face-to-face, I just complain to the landlord and he fixes it.
