I always think the lowest form of poster is one who likes to pick other posters up on spelling mistakes. It's very petty and childish.

And I think anyone who doesn't know the difference between loose and lose should be slapped with a reduced priced lettuce.

I'm sure they do know the difference, they've just made a typo. You've obviously got a bit of a short fuse if it bothers you that much!

Most of the time it's unlikely cctv would pick up anything... Wrong angle, no coverage, blocked by fixture or Poor quality.

Frustrating for you but I can understand from the staffs point of view as the price is very low, wrong sku and you were seen tampering with the pricing sticker.

Having been on the internet for a while now, i can assure you this is not a typo.

I typed it quickly on my phone this morning (being fairly sleepy), I assume you know you can access the internet via a phone? As the phone didn't recognise it as a spelling error it wasn't highlighted so I didn't notice the double letters!

Is the mistype of "now" as "not" a typo then or do you also need beating by a lettuce?

So if he 'saw' you changing the stickers, why didn't he question you then or when you were wandering around the shop or before you got in the queue to pay? Instead he waited until you'd paid and were about to leave the shop? If he really thought you were stealing he would have/should have done something quickly & quietly before you bought the product! That along with the fact that he confronted you in front of the whole shop & didn't want to check the CCTV suggests that he's just a jobsworth on a bit of a power trip!

Personally I'd write a complaint to the manager of the shop and to the head office. Even if they won't say anything about the fact that you're now apparently a 'thief' they should at least confront him about his unprofessional behaviour and apologise for the way he treated you.

He isn't allowed, by law, to stop her until she has left the store. As long as the customer is in the store the customer is always allowed to argue they were intending to rectify their "mistake" (not in this case) but oncwe a customer has left they cannot argue this, hence why they can now be "accused".
