Joe Public fights back...
Today in a Supermarket-begins with A, 4 letters. Guy in front of me going out sets off the Alarms. Security guard stops Him, and asks Him
to step back into the store, I was behind and being a nosey s*d I hung around. Conversation roughly was this-
excuse me Sir, could I have a word?
no, problem, what's wrong?
you seem to have set off the alarm sir
why would that happen then?
that is what I'd like to find out
how?
could I see in your bag?
why?
i think there may be something in there
there is-shopping
something else maybe Sir
no there isn't
could I look?
no
i need to Sir
are you a Policeman?
no Sir
right I'm going
(the Security guard held His arm as He tried to walk away)
thats assault, you are accusing me of theft, I'm not a thief. I have been here for 15 minutes I should be home by now. Either Phone the Police or I'm going.
at this point I lost interest as the crowd was beginning to get behind the Guy and complain to the Security guard. Question from me- was the Guard or the Guy within the Law?
