[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was doing some Christmas shopping at Target yesterday.  While looking at items in the holiday candy/food aisle, I noticed there was a young man a few steps away from me rearranging items on a shelf.  I spent a relatively long time in the aisle because I was buying candy items for multiple family members and because I was reading ingredient labels due to a family nut allergy.  The young man stayed there the entire time and it seemed that he would knock items off a shelf and then put them back and rearrange them.  He looked normal and didn't seem to have any mental health issues.  After some time, I asked him if he could reach a bag of red and green chips for me from a high shelf.  He looked startled but did get the chips and then scurried off.  I then moved to the next holiday item aisle, and a woman showed up and started rearranging items on a shelf.  The items looked perfectly fine to me, and she would just keep rearranging the same items that were already on the shelf.

Was I being followed by store security?  The people were not reading ingredient labels, etc. and were just rearranging the same items over and over.  I am a middle-aged woman, was dressed in a typical "mom" outfit of a sweater and jeans, don't have tattoos or piercings or hair dyed an unusual color, and wasn't carrying a large bag or anything suspicious.  I am white, so it could not have been a case of racial profiling.

Am I being paranoid?  The whole situation just felt strange.

I ra into Macy's once and I had been doing a lot of yard work and was still in those clothes.  A woman came up to me immediately and asked if she could help me and looked me up and down.  I said no and walked away from her and she followed me to counter I needed. Finally, I turned to her and asked why she was following me.  She was flustered and denied but she didn't leave until clerk handed me my package and then I asked her if she would help me carry my package to my car.  She finally walked away.[/quote]
