Have you ever been kicked out of a store?

Post Reply New Topic

I've only got kicked out of one shop because of the fact that my sister happened to lose her laces and the fact that people and the staff there took it far too seriously... Decided to ban us from that shop.

All I know is that I wish they could just close that place down so we are allowed back in again.

deleted. it was not a nice post much.

One time I was in CompUSA, and kept compulsively reaching out to touch items, but was trying not to, so I would reach and lean out and then suddenly pull back, which put me off balance a bit -- I think it looked like I was drunk or something.

Anyway, a manager kept coming over every 2 minutes, asking "do you need any help, sir?" That happened 5 or 6 times before I realized he was getting more and more aggressive about it, and was really saying "get out." So I left, and about 3 days later figured out what had happened.

I was ticked off, tho -- I could've had cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis or something; that guy didn't know. If it'd happened now I'd have complained and made that point, but at the time I let it slide. About a year later that store closed and I felt all vindicated.

I have never been kicked out of a store.

I was hanging out with some friends one time, we were all drunk/stoned, and my friend commented that the security guards trying to make us leave had on mounty hats, then tossed a side comment to the female guard "you ever get him to 'mounty' you?" then whinnied like a horse.

I fell to my knees roaring with laughter, crying, snot coming out of my nose, couldn't walk... they had to drag me out.


I used to go everywhere barefoot, got told I couldn't go into places, but had a ready-made response "Jesus would have came in here barefoot, would you have kicked him out?" then just ignore them and go about my business.

Keep in mind, it makes me chuckle just remembering it...

Said friend is also my brain twin (we got the same brain, but mine came with the autism box checked, his did not, weird) so we know what each other is thinking... he's also a 6'2" 400+lb fat guy who makes excellent use of his weight for comic effect, when he whinnied, he also kinda twitched and shook himself... so yeah, I don't remember anything clearly after that but laughing hard enough that my sides hurt the next day.

Not "kicked out" really, but one time me and a bunch of friends went to a supermarket all dressed in Halloween costumes (when it clearly was not anywhere near the season), and as we left, some guy came out and told us not to come back again.

These stories are so funny. The mounty thing almost made snot come out MY nose.

When I was 19 my now husband and I were in KMart - I was looking for hangers, those folding wooden and metal ones for pants, and he was a few aisles away. I was wearing this little skirt when I felt something brush against my legs. I thought maybe a little kid had wandered down the aisle but when I looked down, a very slimy guy was looking right up my skirt and picking up a cigarette butt he had tossed between my feet. He said, "oh, excuse me" and I looked at him...the devil came out in me, and I kicked him. He started apologizing and I said "I don't think so!" (full devil mode, now the gloves were off) and he started to run away. I chased him, of course, beating him with one of these hangers. he ran, yelling, "I'm leaving! I'm leaving! Don't hit me!" Anyway, my husband hears this commotion and thinks someone's trying to kidnap me or something and he sees a guy whiz by and then me, following and beating him in a blind rage. Long story short, the cops, who I got to help us, threatened me with assault because he said it wasn't illegal to look up a girl's skirt. Security, after viewing the tape asked us not to come back.

I got kicked out of HEB once because I had my pet lizard with me. I was only three feet inside and when people passed us they would ask what she was, say how cute she is or ask to pet her. I suspect someone who isn't very fond of reptiles ratted me out to the manager because a guy in an HEB uniform came up to me and said, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave with that lizard". That's the only time I can think of where I've actualy gotten kicked out of a store. I go to that same HEB all the time and have never encountered a problem since either.

BTW, for those who don't know, that "friendly greeter" at the entrance has memorized photos of people who have been banned from the store, caught stealing, etc. After you pass, they'll quietly radio security, who will keep an eye out for you.

I've certainly never had that problem, though we have been tailed by undercover security a few times...which is hilarious to watch, it's just like in the movies, where they stop and pretend they're really interested in lady's garments or something ;D

Yeah once in a mobile phone shop because me and my friend were using the iphones for too long.
