Upon entering the store I grabbed a basket by the door & proceeded down towards the 1st aisle. At the very end of the aisle i noted a store employee working near the loading dock doors. Ive since learned her name is Nadi, the keyholder on duty. halfway down the aisle, I placed my wallet phone in my pocket so i could move more freely w/out having to hold onto them. at this moment, Nadi is passing me. I proceeded to look for the item I was looking for. Eventually After no luck go to the medicine aisle. Before I can even get there I overhear Nadi telling the cashier (Tiffany) "the cops are on the way." I get to the medicine aisle & I pull my phone out to research best meds for myself and kids. Next thing I know Tiffany is walking closely behind me as if to watch me. I brush it off & continue to research. maybe 3mins later, i hear Nadi asking Tiffany "hey is she still here?" Again, who is "she" because I assumed I was the only customer in the store. Tiffany, responded quietly then she immediately announced "Im about to go walk the floor.. & make sure there's no mess on the ground or anything on the floors." There was no one in the store. Nadi & TIffany were in close proximity at the register area so no need to make that announcement other than for me to hear & not suspect shes watching me which she was. she does a quick stroll only to walk behind me again. Although something weird is going on, i continue to shop. I make my selections & go check out. Tiffany asked for my ID to purchase the meds which I kindly provided. I paid for my items & then tiffany asked if I wanted my receipt which of course I always do. i go to my vehicle & when i got outside I noticed there were cases of water outside by the door. I went back inside & told the cashier that I wanted one of those cases of water & I asked if i needed to carry it inside or do they have a code by the register like other grocery stores. she said it would need to be carried in & offered to do so & also to carry it out to my car which I declined. she insisted she would & didn't mind since I was sick. I paid for the water, again she asked me if I wanted my receipt which i did. We got outside & she commented on my car several times & asked the model. which I confirmed. She then fished for the year which i didn't really respond to. hindsight, she was trying to get the model and year of my vehicle. I told her where to place the waters & then thanked her for her help. She then strikes up a conversation & began making small talk. Eventually an officer pulled up very abruptly. Tiffany terminates our convo immediately. I thanked her again so i could go & she walked inside quickly. I got in my vehicle & got ready to leave, the officer tapped on my door and made me aware that the women inside had called and reported that i was inside stealing and stuffing items in my pockets. I told him i had placed my phone and wallet in my pocket upon entering the store. he reiterated that they reported i had stolen actual merchandise. I asked him who specifically said that & what i had supposedly stolen. He said he wasn't sure. I proceeded to empty my pockets & remove my jacket. i gave him permission to search me & my vehicle. After talking w/ him for a bit, another officer arrived. The 2nd officer went inside to get the employees' version and find out what I supposedly stole. He came out saying Nadi said I stole children's cold medicine. I produced my receipt which showed i had paid for it. The officer verified everything on the receipt, including the children's medicine & quickly determined that i didnt steal anything. Tiffany came outside & said that she didnt want to get in trouble & Nadi is the one that said i stole, not her. she said she knew i didnt steal the meds because she had personally checked me out so she knew i paid for it. i had not even made it to the medicine section at that point in my visit Nadi, which waswithin seconds of entering the store. The whole time the police were there Nadi stayed hidden in the store while TIffany freely came to interact and smoke.
