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.

Okay, 1- That woman is a bitch! and 2- That store is absolutely terrible! They didn't handle that properly at all. They could (and should) have asked for receipts from both of you to prove who paid for what, and/or asked your cashier if they remembered you paying for that item or saw what happened with the other lady. And if all else fails there's the security tapes. At my store they would have done that, figured out who the real thief was, dealt with her, and given you that item back free of charge, and possibly a gift card to our store, to apologize for the trouble and inconvenience you went through. There's no way they would have just picked a side and kicked an innocent customer out, that's the fastest way to lose business and get a bad reputation in the process. I would never shop there again if I were you, OP, and tell your friends to do the same!

OMG the elderly strikes again... Yes, I would suggest to tell security to check the cameras.

Write down exactly what happened, including the date, time, sequence of events, a description of the woman in question, and any names you may have caught of the employees involved. Take that statement, and your receipt, back to the store (or perhaps call them) and speak to the manager. File a formal complaint and demand that an in-store investigation take place. They need to review all security footage of the day/time of this situation, in the area of the store where this occurred, and find your proof. Then you need a refund/replacement at the very least, though preferably they will suck up to you and also give you a gift card or in-store credit (though I'd be uncertain whether I could even tolerate shopping there again, personally) for the trouble you've had to put up with. Hopefully this leads to that woman being charged for petty theft (I'm not a police officer or an attorney, so please forgive me if I've named the wrong charge for this crime) so that she's held responsible for what she did. If nothing else, it might just wipe that smirk off her face. I'm sorry this happened to you, OP.

And why didnt you tell them to check the cameras?! Or better yet demand it, i wouldnt let anyone do that to me

Actually most camera footage in stores is stored on the server in the store. All digital and very quick for a manager to verify the theft. Hope this problem gets cleared up OP.
