Don't know why it happens to me, but may be because I'm tall (hence noticeable) and fairly well built (so a dope might automatically think I'm a thug). There's really no hope for people who make instant (and usually wrong) estimations of a person purely based on what they see.
As for H&B, take your custom elsewhere, that's the customer's prerogative. Also, I'd write to their Head Office and let them know how you feel. They won't actually give a damn, though they'll say they do, but you'll feel a whole lot better for having said it.
All I can say in the shop assistants defence is that they may have recently had a shop lifting incident which was similar to your shopping experience (ie one person 'shopping' another stood by the door), and they were just being extra vigilant. Maybe Waterstones have had a spate of elderly lady shoplifters!
you only assume the person thought you were shoplifting - how ridiculous to take such offence when the woman was trying to help you - giving them 7 days to investigate makes me laugh - i dont suppose the shop assisstant even remebers you/the occasion
she asked you twice if you wanted help - and you call that being hounded?? and if mr m wasnt even in the shop with you, how did she make an assumption about the both of you?
i know ^^^^ that sounded ott but really, take a chill pill and a deep breath and try to realise how ridiculous you sound ....
also
1)she didnt even accuse you of anything at all, when she could have asked you to step through to the back if she thought you were shoplifting and
2) even if she was suspecting you, so what?. It's vigilant shop staff preventing thefts that stop my prices going up even more due to instore theft - so i say thanks
