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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. 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.

What the hell is right. Where the hell are their security cameras.

Normally I don't agree with this, but you might have a good lawsuit against. Might be a stretch to call it wrongful procession being it was security & not police, but still should get something for the "emotional distress." Also you can try to require that the tapes be submitted as evidence in the crime of shoplifting against the lady.

Compare receipts to what's in the bags?!?

OP here. To clarify: In Finland we don't have bagging services or self-checkout lines, the cashier just "beeps" the bar code and lets the customer bag the groceries. The supermarket I was buying food at was undergoing construction work, so it turned out they had shut down their security cams a week ago to be able to build something right in front of the place where cam control room is located, so I couldn't get any help from tapes. Also, it's very common here that the cashier doesn't give a receipt to the customer if "the customer looks like he/she is gonna throw it away right away anyway" (which is kinda wrong of course), which often means when a teen or young adult is buying something. I couldn't imagine a situation like what happened today in my wildest dreams, so of course I didn't specifically ask for a receipt after paying. I guess I was as out of luck as a human being possibly could be. The large piece of meat the lady stole from me wasn't exactly cheap either...
