A Bad Experience I had a bad experience when I shopped in one of the stores in my city. It was really embarrassing. The security shop accused me of stealing a pair of blue jeans.

That was Sunday afternoon. I went to a fashion store with my friends. I chose a pair of blue jeans to buy and paid for them at the cashier. Unfortunately, the shop assistant was careless. She forgot to take the censor clip on the blue jeans. So, when I left the shop, the detector beeped. The security officer shouted at me, "Hey, you...! Stop!" i Then, he took me to the manager's room.

After examining, the security officer and the manager realized that it was not my fault. They were very sorry about what had happened. Finally, the manager asked me to take one piece of clothing for free. Source: http://soehaarrr.com
