Today, while walking around the local thrift store, I noticed an attractive guy watching me and following me through the aisles. As he followed me to my car I was sure I would get his number. He then asks me to bring my purse inside as I had been tagged as a shoplifter. I work at the store. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML
Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. 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, 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
Today, I was trying on some clothes in the store's changing room, when someone reached under the door and grabbed my purse, shoes, and pants. FML
Today, I was accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. FML
Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML
Today, I went shopping. At the counter, the cashier started flirting with me and asked me for my number. He was cute, so I gave it to him. After walking out of the store, I got a text that said, "I didn't want to say it out loud, but your pants are unzipped." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So what did you steal...his heart?

Seems like a strange thing for some guy to do... Going around accusing others of shoplifting. Especially if he doesn't work there.

What would be the point to that?

Well, maybe OP was acting suspicious in this guys opinion, when in reality, he was just making OP feel weird.

42- That would be reasonable, except OP wasn't creeped out. She was just hoping to get his number.

This will be a great story to tell the kids.. "Hey want to know how Mommy and Daddy met? Daddy almost got me sent to jail"

Well then. As long as you weren't shoplifting then there shouldn't be much of a problem, people steal from stores they work at all the time. Sucks that the situation turned! Instead of the attractive guy wanting your number, he wanted to accuse you of swiping.

I agree with you, people steal all the time from their jobs. My BF works at Home Depot and tells me story after story about employees getting caught stealing. And we're talking huge items, like barbecue grills and lawn furniture!

Why were you tagged as a shoplifter? Are you stealing from your store or not?
