Kerrie Sims -Walmart-1696568939

My name is Kerrie Sims and this is what occured at the Brunswick Maine Walmart on October 1, 2023 at approximately 3 o'clock on I entered Walmart to get a few things. I was waiting for my friend to meet me so I walked around I grabbed 2 salads today were on sal for 4.47 and the smaller grapes and apple slices contribute to jewelry then to clearance clothing I got a bra and shorts I checked out self checkout scanned ALL items I needed to ask one of workers to help me b LoL because qI didn't realize I had hit another payment method. Trust me she looked to see if I scanned all of my items. I paid with my chime debit card got my receipt realized there were no bags so I put all items in my messenger bag. Kept receipt m hand when I got to the exit offered the checker my receipt. He said you're all set. So I proceeded outside to wait for Brunswick Taxi. About 15 minutes go by and I realize that I forgot the 12 pack of Pepsi so I rushed back inside to grab it. When I came through the door I Wentz directly to the greeter and explained to her I was just here a few minutes ago and I bought the things in my bag but I forgot the soda. I said here is my receipt when I went to hand it to her she wanted me off no I don't need to see it. I felt at that point I felt I had protected myself from exactly what ended up happening. I walked directly to the soda isle then straight to self checkout where I also purchased a Walmart bag so I didn't have to have everything crammed in my messenger bag. After I paid I stood right there at the terminal and transferred everything from one to the other. I then proceeded to leave the store. When i got to the second exit to get outside I hear excuse me ma'am and he rushed up on me he didn't identify himself he just told me I needed to come back inside. He walked me through the second set of doors I was trying to explain that when I came 't back to grab the soda make false accusations and then he asked to see the receipt for the things I had in the Walmart bag. I had been carrying it t in my hand in my hand and said I must have dropped it I know exactly the route I took can we go get it?!? He basically was pretty pleased with himself he started to get more and more condescending treating me like a criminal and I know that this guy had come after me with the thought that I was was about to look at the register tape or they have toI just felt myself go out of control in bipolar 1 with psychotic features and I also have PTSD. This person was going to have me arrested and the I do know that there is no possible way that he was into a as o started to reside old me no which was when he started to get more and more confident that he then started to talk to me in a condescending tone I then pointed at the greeter and told him when I came back in to get the soda I told her I was coming back in and offered her the receipt. She was right there as I started to get more and more frustrated so he asked her if I did have the receipt and she said I didn't look at it in this nasty tone line or was my fault that she didn't do her job. He started saying ma'am are you alright you're acting erratic. As it's I was still just in total disbelief!! He was making a huge scene calling me a tief I'm at my local Walmart where I know most people. I was starting to realize that I must have dropped it between the entrance right after I offered the greater the self checkout. I said wait I on I asked the it's we wain front me of taking all the items in the Walmart bag he was trying to usher me to the back I finally had to to show him my banking app to show proof and even then I didn't get any kind of apology he was still rude as I was finally able to go he thanked me for shopping at Walmart. I have been doing some research and i think it's very important to stress t in order to accuse and then detain someone of for shoplifting there's a protocol to follow (and this changes from company to company) is: 1) see the person come into the store. 2) See the person select an item or items 3) see the person conceal the item (or continue to hold the item) 4) see the person exit the store without paying for the item(s). This is something that's got me shook to be honest. I was there spending my money and I was treated like I was not only a thief but like I was trash. Even after I proved my innocence I wasn't treated any better. I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with it. Even after I took extra precautions you're workers couldn't be bothered to do their jobs and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it
