I’m sure, as of tonight (March 16, 2009) you’re saying “What’s Improved”. Lots, but we’re trying to get it all out. Thanks for your patience.

Hello,

My name is Aeriel. I am sending this message to inform all of you of an event occurring at approximately 4:30pm on the day of Thursday, September 9th, 2009 at the Bucyrus, Ohio Wal-Mart.

This is what had occurred:
My boyfriend and I were browsing through the Wal-Mart store causally looking through the isles. Apparently, an undercover shopper had been following us around the store and made assumptions that we had been tampering with packaging on a few of the items we were carrying. As we walked through the store we decided to sit down some of these items because I am in the midst of going through court trials and thought it would be best to only spend our money on our groceries that day. So, long story short we went to the cash register and bought our groceries and went to leave the store. As we approached the door, a man (not dressed in a Wal-Mart uniform) stopped my boyfriend and I. The man began to accuse of stealing items from the store which my boyfriend and I both denied to doing. I handed the man my purse and my bag and he refused to look through the bags and told me I had to follow him. All the while I had to be to work a half an hour away at 5:30. So, we
were anxious to leave the store so I could get home. My boyfriend asked the man if he would like to go through our things once more and the man refused. So we tried to leave the store once more. As we went to leave another woman, who was not dressed in a Wal-Mart uniform physically detained my boyfriend and I blocking the door to let us leave by pushing their bodies against ours. Neither the man nor the woman introduced who they were to us or let us know who they were or what their importance was. At this point and time my boyfriend and I didn’t want to fuss around so we decided to follow the man and woman to a backroom in Wal-Mart. They led us into the room and shut the door behind them. The man who I would assume was the undercover shopper told us to sit in the chairs in the room. I went and sat right down, and my boyfriend wanted to stand. The woman told my boyfriend he had to sit in the chair and wasn’t allowed to stand in the room. My boyfriend
told them that he felt more comfortable standing and that he did not want to sit in the chair. The woman then started yelling at my boyfriend and telling him he was being uncooperative and that he had to sit in the chair. My boyfriend then went to go stand by me, and as he started to walk forward the man and woman both put their hands on my boyfriend and physically pushed him back into the corner we were in and told him to sit in the chair again. So, my boyfriend sat down. My boyfriend then looked at the man dressed in the undercover and woman that helped to detain us and said, “I hope you know that you aren’t allowed to put your hands on me or touch me like you just did. I’ll file a report when the police gets here.”
The man in the undercover laughed and told my boyfriend that he had no idea what he was talking about and not to try and threaten him again.

At this point another man and woman walked into the room, whom I gathered was the Manager and Assistant Manager. They both walked to the end of the room where the door was and stood in front of it blocking the door. The man dressed in undercover told us that he had been following us around the store and was filing a report on us and that he wanted my identification. I replied to the man telling him I had no identification on me. He got very flustered and aggravated with me and said that that was fine and he was calling the cops. He asked me one more time if I had identification and I told him no. He asked my boyfriend for his identification and my boyfriend replied saying that he wasn’t going to release his information until he spoke to the police who had been called.
Still, worrying about being to work late I reached into my purse to check the time, the woman who also physically detained my boyfriend and I started yelling at me to put my phone away and to shut the phone off. I went to shut my phone off and to do so I had to unlock my keypad. She started very angrily yelling at me to stop messing with my phone, and that I was again being uncooperative. I was trying to explain to her while she was yelling i was turning my phone off but I had to unlock the keypad. While I was doing this she stood right in front of me and started yelling louder over top of my voice without listening to what I was saying to put the phone away. At this point, I just threw the phone back into my purse.

My boyfriend and I sat the in a few minutes of silence until the police officer came in. The police officer came in and the woman who had yelled at me about the phone immediately started telling the cop that I had told my boyfriend that we weren’t going to give them any information and we were going to try to leave. I shook my head and told the cop that was never said. He then asked me for my identification and I told him I had none. So he asked me for my name and social security number which I willfully gave to him. As did my boyfriend with his information. The cop then turned to the man dressed as an undercover shopper if my boyfriend and I had stolen anything and the man said no that we hadn’t stolen anything, but that we weren’t cooperating with them and that we were being aggressive. All the cop said to the man was that there was nothing he could do. The cop seemed to be acting like he wasn’t sure why he was there in the first place. After that, the
cop turned around to the manager and assistant manager and asked them what they wanted to do with the situation. The manager and assistant manager walked out of the room in privacy with the cop for a few seconds. They walked back in and the cop came up to us and told him to come out of the room. My boyfriend and I walked out of the room and the cop told us they had just decided that we were never allowed to be on Bucyrus Wal-Mart’s property again, that we had been banned. The cop then walked out of the backroom with us back into the store, we went our separate ways and my boyfriend and I got into our vehicle. We then went to the Bucyrus police station to file a formal report of what had happened, the cops said that we could but they would probably look over it because there was four people in the room against us two, and that were was nothing they could really do about the situation. My boyfriend and I feel completely humiliated and upset about the
situation. Our rights have been violated. Our rights should have been protected and enforced instead we were made a fool of in front of everyone in the store for no reason. They never charged us with anything nor made us pay for any supposed damage to their products. They never told us who they were. They refused to show us their video tape evidence, all that was told to us was that the undercover shopper saw us attempt to conceal. I was late to work because of the whole ordeal, and on top of all of it I had to explain what had happened to my boss. I never want this man to do this to another innocent shopper, nor do I ever want this to happen to me personally ever again.

Stupid Fuckers.
