Intimidated @ Boots, Batuta Mall
I was in Batuta two days ago and passed by Boots and of course, didn't resist and went inside to scan around my favourite brands. Checked Soap&Glory, make up sections and N0 7 as well as their 10AED and 20AED promotions. I was just looking and barely touched anything but the whole time felt awkward to have the security guard so close following me. It put we off of hanging in the shop and so I left. When I was 20 steps away came the manager and 2 security guards calling me and the manager had an opened box of Soap & Glory missing the content and he straight said that I have taken the product and the security wanted to check my bag. God, what a pain! I showed them everything I had, opened all zips from my bag, they went through all brands in my make-up bag and surely couldn't find anything. Then they insisted for me to go back to the shop to be searched by a woman assistant, which I surely refused. I dindt feel angry neither offended, actually, but I was more scared and intimidated. I told them firmly that I didnt have anything to hide and would only accept to be searched by an police officer and with my lawyer (imaginary, just you know - lol!). They them let me go ....
2 days later, it is still in my head this story and I just wont go back to Boots. But my feelings are:
- could they accuse me like that, without any proof? and have an employee searching me, really?
- could it have had a bad end ... I dindt steal anything but I was very concerned they could mess it up and incriminated me?
- and what if it was a brand I had in my bag coincidently, like bourjois, nivea etc? Lucky me they don't sell MAC, Chanel, YSL and Inglot because THAT is what I carry in my bag - lol
Mind you, I hand only my small hand bag with me, no extra shopping bags or anything else in my hands, and I was wearing a dress with no pocket and a thin cardigan with small pocket (where you dont put anything inside anyway).
Anyway, ladies be aware, they a re looking to blame someone I guess. Since this experience I cannot relax in the shops any more, I feel like they are all checking on me. And I probably look more suspicious than ever!!!!
