Today, as I was doing the morning count for the registers, a lady walked by and saw me. She's got Alzheimer's, and thought I was robbing the guy I'd bought the store from, so she called the cops. I spent six hours in jail while they looked into it, and didn't even get an apology. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to pay my grandma a visit. She called the cops because she didn't recognize me and thought I was a robber. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. 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 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 accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. 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, 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, 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 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
Today, in a market, an old lady stood beside me for a few moments, not saying a word, before turning to me and screaming that I'd taken the money out of her purse. Security was called and I was given the ultimatum to either go to jail or give her the money back. Now I have no food for next week. FML

They do need to apologise for wrongful arrest, though, #4.

It'd actually be are*. You don't capitalize words in the middle of sentences that aren't proper. Nice try though.

That does suck a lot! But honestly? Cops have no reason to apologize for doing their jobs.

Doing their jobs ? Arresting innocent people ? Yeah, while the cops are out there wasting their time with shit like this and just ******* around, people are being killed, robbed and more. -.-

Why trust someone with Alzheimer's? honestly!

How the **** are they not doing their jobs?? They have to uphold the law which required an arrest. It's not like they mistreated him in anyway. Everyone hates cops till they need one.

they had no reason to detain him simply on a complaint. Their job is to investigate but the choice to detain is overused.

I'm not sure if it includes this, but what about "innocent until proven guilty"?

Hey, they're just doing their jobs. There's no one to blame.

It's not their job to detain people upon allegation of a crime. Unless there is evidence or actual suspican a crime has been committed, the detention isn't necessary or warranted. I'd even be curious as to if it's a violation of civil rights.

I'm sure if she were in her right mind, she would apologize.

that is bogus that the cops didn't even say sorry.

false arrest is basis for a lawsuit that you will most likely win. I'd say get a lawyer and make the city pony up for what the store would have made in those six hours PLUS what you personally make in those six hours PLUS your lawyers fee
