Don't go back to that store.

I had something similar happen to me, except they made me fill out an application and work 3 saturday shifts.

A store doesn't have to have enuf evidence to press charges against u to ban u from a store. U r free online shop there, anyways.

First off, I've neva seen a security guard at Cdn Tire. *side eye* Besides, IF TRUE... just go to another Cdn Tire. No 1 caresss nor GAF. That's like banning you from a MickyD's. Sooo... who caresss. 5 more down the street. Better yet go to Home Depot. Much better service anyway.

Local CTs have hired security to stand at the door, I'm sure in response to putting in self-checkouts.

call diamond and diamond.

Being banned from crappy tire is no loss. They sell low quality garbage. You not saving money when you have to buy the same item again else where.

You might have legal grounds if you hadn't exited the door yet. Even if you were guilty, you're not guilty until you've walked out of the store with the item.

That being said. You also could of completely diffused the situation. Sorry it was a misunderstanding, I was putting my toque in my pocket. See.. it's my toque. That's probably what I would of done. It's occurred to me before that a floor walker might see someone put their phone, sunglasses, toque etc... back in their pocket and mistake it for shoplifting. I don't think I'd take the route of provoking them as a solution to the problem.

Are you sure it's an actual guard? 'round here some had a cardboard cut out.

Anyone who believes this story is gullible

I believe concealing an item is considered shop lifting. Not defending crappy tire here I like every Canadian hate it there

This is so incorrect but it is a common fallacy. However I will state that this is best practice as most LPOs are lacking in training, evidence, court practices and being able to formulate their observations into intelligible thought and speech. However the C.C. is very clear on when a theft is committed and I highly doubt that Toronto P.S. members at the LCBO are going to wait for someone to just exit the store first.

LOL. Yes, it's an actual rent-a-guard.
