[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would call the store manager, explain what happened and let them know they have lost you as customers by having overly aggressive security stop young people who were innocently shopping.  Then I would put it on social media.

We have lost many of our rights and safety in our current environment.  We do not have to stand for it.  It is traumatic to be stopped by armed men, period.  Especially when doing nothing wrong. It is sad that so many people say its not a big deal.[/quote]

Um, there is no mention of anyone being armed.  It wasn't even LEO of any kind.  OP seems to think it is a problem that they DIDN'T involve an armed officer.  Which is bizarre.

And are people suggesting that stores (regular employees) should not ask questions when it looks like somebody might be shoplifting?  [/quote]

I teach high school and it’s crazy how in the last few years, kids and parents are SO affronted by the idea an adult or authority figure might correct inappropriate behavior. Kid will get in trouble for something they OBVIOUSLY should not do and be like “yo chill why are you being disrespectful” and then their parent gets mad at US because how dare we say the kid can’t be in the hall cursing at the top of their lungs at school. Op immediately wanting to yell at a manager for this is completely in line with this new crop
of parents and how they never want any consequence for their kids, ever. [/quote]

There wasn't inappropriate behavior. Existing as teenager in public with a bag isn't something that should result in consequences. [/quote]
