unless........safeway thing. in yes i'm aware it's 2016.

so for those who don’t know back in Sept. I was wrongfully accused by one of the staff at the safeway by my mom’s. well not that i liked safeway before........but i certainly don’t now.

yeah so the last time I was there I was doing the usual thing grocery shopping. and i think I’d gotten my groceries had put them in my bags [well. i put the groceries in the plastic bags so they won’t fall out and then in the canvas bags i have] and then was going to get more.as i do. well so when I was in the store the manager who.i also didn’t like before as she’s one of those perky types [well maybe she was like.the person who’s the position below manager. yeah so anyway] she asked me if I needed a basket. um if i want one i can get it my damn self.i’m pretty damn capable of doing so believe it or not. and then i think she asked me something else which.i don’t vividly recall. and I told her no twice. look when i go to the store I like people to not,talk to me. if i want to socialise i’ll go to a bar.or wherever. also I don’t like being asked if i need something as that sounds patronising and i’m not 2. like ‘do you need help?’ um i am 28 godamn yrs. old. no i do not ‘need’ help. i might want it i might require assistance but i certainly don’t ‘need’ it. [and yes i realise wants are different than needs. i just don’t like being asked if i need something for reasons i’ve already explained].

so anyway. I’m walking through the store and i hear them call out security. and i knew then they were watching me. so I get to the entrance and one of the staff is there and I show him my bags and ask if he wants to see my receipts and he says no.so he was cool about all of it.

alrite well.if I had taken something [which i haven’t done in a couple yrs. this is why i don’t go to libraries. i don’t trust myself. which is probably a good reason not to go. i’m not um proud of it but here we are] I wouldn’t’ve asked that. i probably would’ve just left.

well then that stupid manager type comes. and she says something like how she doesn’t like having to watch me all the time and it’s just a feeling she gets. um that’s what you have your staff for.so you don’t ‘have’ to do that. and so I was honest w/ her and told her I didn’t take anything and she goes ‘only bc we caught you’. like no bitch i honestly didn’t take anything. but ya know. if you want to wrongfully accuse me and not take the time to listen to my side just so you can feel like some kindof hero and.........not even care.then ya know what that’s fine. when really actually it’s not. i’m just so used to being used to things like this. i even asked the guy if he wanted to see my receipts. she didn’t even ask my side of things.
yes they caught me putting my stuff in my grocery bags..........after i’d purchased the items.a perfectly normal thing to do.i’d been going there 4 yrs. and this is the first time that had ever happened.
so. either a they think I did but are letting me get away w/ it or 2 they think i actually didn’t. if i had i think i would’ve been a lot more emotional.

and then she threatens to call the cops if i come in there again. well see I usually believe people who say stuff like that to me.i’m also really paranoid in general. and I’m a ‘follow the rules’ type a bit. ok seeing that i’m [er well i was one of their customers as are hundreds of other people] well technically that makes me their boss.........like they earn a living [well for those of them who only work that one job] by the customers buying their items. and paying either the self checkouts or the uh.the clerks. so..........yeah. but ya know.not like they care if they lose me. no cause they probably don’t. and again. this is the world i come from. this is why the lady confronting me about the bag rearranging thing Tues. was so weird. cause at my mom’s.they don’t do that. and again no if a clerk like in a grocery store is going to talk to you about something they won’t be nice about it.

the day that happened.i was willing to prove to them that.i, have nothing to prove to them.

so at some point soon i’ma email or call them about this. yeah when i mentioned it to evan he told me what to say but i..........forgot what it was. but it didn’t involve being a bitch to them. [which is interesting as other than me he’s a jerk to people. another reason i’m giving up on him.um but anyway].

yeah no but the 2 new things to this are. well a had i taken something i wouldn’t’ve been that compliant about showing them my bags. i either would’ve just left or had i stayed i would’ve been a lot more emotional. they say if you have something to hide don’t act like you are. yes but that doesn’t always work. and um 2. i was actually willing to prove to them i had nothing to prove.

i was thinking about this recently i guess was my point. [btw. i’m aware they and any other establishment has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason].
