Default Guess what happened to me two days ago

I got banned from going into a Best Buy store. Perhaps for nothing.

I've been going in there to see if they have the DVD I wanted, but they never did. Now I went there on Wednesday and they still didn't have it. So this guy that works there confronted me and told me not to go there anymore because he sees me coming into the store attempting to steal. He's wrong.

I mean sometimes when I'm around I'd go in to to browse around, and kill time, but that's about it. Anyway I guess he figured if I was coming into the store, and not buying anything, then I had to have been trying to steal or something. I think the fact that I had my hands in my jacket pocket most of the time might have also aroused his suspicions. Well, I needed to put my hands somewhere.

Okay see, they didn't have the DVD I wanted, so one guy there saw me looking and asked if I needed help. So I just figured I should let him check for me about the DVD, even if it's not on the shelf. So he went to check in their system to see if maybe they have it in their inventory or something. They didn't. So after that, I went to the video game section to get one of those cards that I can use to reserve Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Some guys ask me if I need help, and I just tell them I'm looking for one of those cards that I can use to reserve that game. They told me they were out of them.

After that, there's this guy who's probably a manager or something, started following me around the place. I went from one spot to another, and he just wouldn't leave me alone. So I just decided to leave. Then when I'm going back to my car, he calls me back to tell me I'm banned, and why I'm banned. I tried to explain to him that I've just been looking there for something, only to see that they didn't have it. He wasn't buying it though.

Now, like any good law-abiding man, I NEVER steal. Even before that, I went to Kohl's and got a new umbrella. I went to a drug store to get some deodorant and a pack of tissues. I went to The Vitamin Shoppe and got some vitamins. I paid for them all, I swear. So if that Best Buy had what I was looking for, I definitely would have paid for it. Anyway I guess the guy just saw me coming into Best Buy every other day, only to have bought nothing (AND I ALSO STOLE NOTHING). I guess he figured that was reason enough for him to be suspicious of me. Most of the times I'd just go in to look around, and kill time like I mentioned earlier.

Well, it sucks that this had to happen. I may have brought this on myself, but whatever. Even so, if that guy's going to be a jerk and wrongfully accuse me, then they don't deserve my business anyway.
