Anyone else have weird experiences like this? Once when I was in high school still, I went to Meijer's (a supermarket) and bought a watch band, IIRC, and some crazy person who worked there chased me out into the parking lot and demanded to see my receipt. It was jarring but otherwise I showed him my receipt, chewed him out a bit, and that was the end of it. Sounds a lot less scary than this....

Here's some advice for you, the regular customer who doesn't shoplift: never go into the back of a store with a security guard, store manager, rent-a-cop, etc. Never. Someone posted the following story in the Janesville, Wisconsin CraigsList over the weekend. Because the poster cooperated in good faith with the security personnel at her local Menards home store, she had to pay $150 to avoid having the police called on her.
