may already?! 2018, already?! today i found myself in a hardware store browsing. they had an aisle full of college themed miscellaneous items such as christmas ornaments, decals, car magnets, etc. i noticed a worker come and stand 5 feet away from me. as i move, he moves with me. 3 consecutive aisles later, there he is still a few feet away from me. it was at this point i realized i was being followed. this has never happened to me before. for full disclaimer, i get it. if i was rummaging through items, or if i had bulging pockets, there would be logical reasoning as to it being warranted, but the thing is, i was simply walking around looking. my hands were behind my back, i wasn’t touching any of the items. and still, i was being followed.
smh, i guess there’s a first time for everything.
