I don't drive so my boyfriend drove me and our toddler to tesco to get some shopping, went to pay for it at the self service till (they had one of the big ones you can easily fit a big shop on)
The man working the self service area (he looked like a supervisor or something he was wearing a blazer) stood behind us and watched me scan every single item, blatently staring and clearly thinking we were theives. It was so obvious and made me feel really i comfortable. There were other people using other check outs and he didn't even look at them, just stood about half a Meyer behind us the entire time. He kept pointing things put and asking if I was going to scan them (yes ffs I'm just putting them in order in the bags!l put sandwhiches on the basket rest to do last, because we were going to eat them and whilst still scanning the rest of my stuff he just kept going "you need to scan those" "I hope you're going to scan that"
We are youngosh, probably look younger than we are and toddler DS was dressed in a tracksuit (we were all ill!) Which I'm guessing is why he decided we are obviously massive thriving chavs but I felt like crying! I was just doing some fucking shopping with my toddler and random people assume I'm a theif.
I know its his job but he could have just looked a bit, from a bit more of a distance, not make it so obvious when I had not done anything at all to make him think I'd steal. It was so embatassing and uncomfortable and he looked so smug as if he thought he knew we were going to steal and he was oh so clever in sussing us scummy theives and stopping us.
Massive urge to tell him to piss off bit just smiled and carried on with my shopping because I'm not a dick.
