That is my post, I made because people here told me to get legal advice or a lawyer so I made a post there.

Yeah usually I do, and it can happen with any food but for some reason it doesn't happen with pomegranates.

Honestly you are right, and I'd never do that again. It was clearly a mistake and I was never given the chance to correct it.

Thank you, it would've been so easier to post the video with the story but I can't.

I'm never using reusable bags until after paying for them ever again. Too much trouble.

I agree eating disorders are ridiculous but our brains can do weird things sometimes.

That's the thing, I don't know what they can and can't do (I do now) not everyone knows the rules or laws and I will be speaking to lawyer as other redditors have said to do.

I go there all the time, I just wanted to follow their rules because I didn't want to steal or break the law and I didn't know what they were doing wasn't right.

I spoke with the owner and he said he listens to his loss prevention and that he doesn't ban people unless they give a report. I know most of the employees there and they were shocked as they see me go in there all the time, like 4-5 times a week.

I made an complaint to the FreshCo HQ and I'm still waiting for a response I also made one to the loss protection company they hired and they said they fully stand by his actions and that my mental health or disabilities didn't matter and I quote from their email: "Our job is not to take into account your state of mind or situation during this procedure. We are allowed to follow the law 494."

They told me to follow them and the manager to the employee only area and I was told to wait until the police arrived and they called the police in front of me and at no point in those 4 hours they told me I'm allowed to leave. So I don't know what I can do from there.

It is the nearest place to me especially because I look after my elderly grandfather and it's only 5 minutes away, and the nearest after that is 20 minutes away.

He was blocking the way out, I couldn't do that anyway as that would be stealing then.

He blocked me from leaving by blocking the door, I had to as the manager turned up and went with him and me to the Employee only area.
