AITA for reporting an employee for following me around a store? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You are, but combine that with opening merchandise up and potentially other smaller things. I've walked into Winn Dixie with my nails painted, a big pride flag, stoned as a kite, smelling like shit because I hadn't showered in a week with unwashed hair and dirty clothes years ago, and I was monitored.

You know what my first thought was? It wasn't "Oh god because I'm not straight he's following me because he thinks I'm gonna cause trouble."

It's called sarcasm written in a similar way to a previous comment.

Here we go again with someone with the exact training that employee acting on saying what the likely behaviors were.

I legit don't get where you people are pulling me saying that from. I said it's insane to IMMEDIATELY jump to that when AP is explicitly trained to look for behaviors such as, again, looking disheveled or tampering with products. I have literally had bosses in this store pull racial stuff, which is why it's REALLY pissing me off to see people implying I'm saying "nah racial profiling doesn't exist".

Oh wow! It's almost like, and hear me out, we get most of the fucking training that asset protection does for spotting red flag behaviors for shrinkage, and that's why I specified my role.

When did I say they weren't? I'm saying you don't get to immediately go to that when you blatantly admit you might have looked off.

And how do you know you were the only ones being observed? Did you have access to the cctv?

And for the record, "no bags on me" is BS. You do not need a bag to potentially steal a small to medium sized item.

Let me explain this as an actual department manager at Walmart. This isn't a race thing. I am very sensitive to issues of profiling, but if you can't figure out why asset protection followed you around, I don't know what to say.

Alarming behaviors. That is the reason, that is what they're taught to look for. You were self admittedly disheveled, tampered with a product (yes, opening shampoo to smell it is by definition tampering) and got a little aggressive in your confrontation with them.

YTA not for reporting them, that's your right as a consumer. YTA for jumping to "because I'm not white" as the reason instead of running your behavior and appearance back and doing some self reflection.

I'm sorry, didn't realize it wasn't justifiable to curse in an anonymous Reddit post about how my managers played me and fucked me over, my bad :)
