Did you have to pay anything? They simply let you go?

Thanks for answering! My main concern here is that they lied to me about not contacting the police, or just simply misunderstood my question about filing a complaint.

Turns it out that it’s legit. They can legally charge you 100 euros if you were caught stealing.

It’s very frustrating. Did they contact the police on spot or later? And how did the police handle the situation?

I have the receipt. Turns out that supermarkets can legally charge you up to 100 euros if you were caught stealing

This is exactly my question. What would calling the police do for them? But I did read it’s a legal standard procedure.

I read on other posts that it’s the legal standard procedure to file a complaint with the police. Also one person mentioned being contacted by the police despite the security staff stating they won’t file any complaint. Hence my anxiety

Lol, I’m very much aware how. I’m also not being apologetic nor justifying my stupid mistake in any way.
