A woman who described herself as a regular customer at a store in a shopping center near her city said she had been followed around by staff members on every visit for about two years, according to a post she shared on the Reddit community r/TalesFromTheCustomer. The user, who goes by the name cenzilooculta on Reddit, said she had never caused any trouble at the store and would typically leave with a purchase each time she visited.
In her post, the woman said she kept returning to the store despite the experience because it carried items and decorations she could not find anywhere else, and because the prices were often marked down. She said she had not thought much of being followed at first, assuming it was a general precaution on the part of the staff, given that the store sold some expensive items.
