i was at the shops earlier and had a basket full of shopping, i went to the self checkout (before anyone suggest i use the tills in future i want to state that i suffer from anxiety and find it difficult so i use the self service.).. anyway as i had quite abit of shopping the whole amount wouldnt fit so i decided it was best to do it in two transactions. after i had finished i decided to leave a few bits behind (left in the basket) anyway as i went to walk off the man shouted "excuse me do you want this stuff!" i said "no sorry im leaving that behind" thinking it was flipping obvious if i was walking away, but whatever.

anyway he then says to me "well what about the pampers" hanging onto my clip on the pram. i said i had already paid for them, he asked for my receipt, meanwhile bare in mind everyone was staring at me! panicked i started to go through the bags looking for it but couldnt find it. he then accused me of trying to steal them! i was so humilated. i asked him to check the cctv. at this point the whole place was starting at me.

anyway as he walked off to check the cctv i found the receipt in my pocket. i went over put the receipt down infront of him and said "there is the receipt." i didnt even hang around i walked straight out but i am so humiliated. safe to say i cant go in there again! aibu to think it could have been done more discreet?

I meant you were rude in your responses to posters, nothing to do with what happened in the shop. Can't believe my comment was deleted! I thought we were allowed to speak our minds in AIBU. The OP has been far ruder than I was Confused

Well it's a lesson for next time. Bag them up and keep receipt nearby. And don't put stuff you're unsure about in your basket - I never leave anything at the till having changed my mind about buying it!

Got to say I’ve been guilty of leaving things in the past when I realised I didn’t have enough money and like
OP was embarasssed (nothing frozen or chilled FYI) I won’t now!

OP I think the security should have been more discrete and it sounds horrible to experience - I hope you feel a bit better now.

You did nothing wrong so have no reason not go back with your head held high.

I think you might benefit from speaking to Someone about your anxiety so situations like this will be less distressing. Wish you all the best.
