CarolAnn,
I can't say anything that the rest haven't already said, except that I now wonder if grocery store cops have to make the same "quota" that police officers do??? This is one of the most ludicrous things I have ever heard. I hope your husband "Kicks ass and takes names"! PLEASE let us know how this turns out......Regards,

> Bob, my husband and I are planning to go talk to the head manager,who is on vacation, this Saturday. There's not a security tape(at least they didn't show me one), the security guy actually saw me put it in my purse, claiming that I "looked around to see if anyone was looking". And, you know, I probably did look around because I was shopping without a list, and kept thinking "oh, what else do I need", and probably turned back to check if there was anything in sight that I needed. Anyway, the main reason that we are going down there is so my husband can demand to see all the paper work and explain my side to the top store manager, depending on his response, we may go higher up the management ladder to complain.
> Noa, I have considered telling it all to the newspaper, but don't think my husband would go for that. Also, I didn't end up signing the paper they were coercing me about, only because after going back and forth a bit, the security guard said, "That's it", and took it back, saying I was "refusing to sign". That turned out to be a good thing, because if they HAD been willing to take out the word "intentionally", I would have signed, and my husband said it was better that I didn't sign anything. The fact that they had said they would call the cops if I didn't sign, and then ended up letting me go anyway, really shows that they were just trying to intimidate, and coerce me into signing something incriminating. So, now I have to go back and try to get thru telling all the details of the whole story, but at least my husband will be there to support me.
> Thank you all again, I am so grateful for my psycho-babble friends! CarolAnn
