Stalked by Walmart Security

Occurred on February 23, 2017 / Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Info from Licensor: "On Febuary 23, 2017, I was heading to school on the bus, but forgot my headphones in my girlfriend's car, so I decided to stop by Walmart since it was right next to my bus stop. When I arrived to Walmart, I headed straight for the headphone aisle and began browsing. Within a minute, I noticed something blue in the corner of my left eye, then I notice this person touching the headphones as if they were shopping. It took me a little while to pick out which headphones I wanted, but after a couple minutes passed by and I happened to glance and notice it said 'Security' on the jacket of the woman beside me. I felt a little pressure to get out of there because it was odd that the security would be role playing as if she were buying headphones too. As I started walking towards the grocery section for some snacks, she proceeded after me, and when I asked why she was following me she said that I had to pay for my headphones in the electronic department. I have bought many things from the electronic section before and payed for them at the front cashiers with the rest of my items. I told her that I knew I did not have to pay there, and as I started walking away she followed closely behind. At that point, I began to feel uncomfortable so I pulled my cell phone out and began recording. I asked the security nicely to stop following me. She then proceeded to follow within arms reach. I began asking another shopper 'are you seeing this bro?' and he proceeded to watch. A Wal-Mart employee walked by without intervening. I then told the security I come here often and I buy things and that I should be getting better customer service. At this point, my voice began rise as I was getting a more uncomfortable and frustrated since she wasn't giving me an answer as to why she was following me. I began to yell for a manager because no one seemed to be helping me out with my situation. She then told me not to yell in 'HER' store and proceeded after me as I was searching for help. After a moment of repeatedly yelling for a manager, I noticed a female and male dressed in dress clothing and at first it they seemed they were hesitant, so I started walking towards them. After explaining my situation she told me that I could continue shopping. On my way out, I stopped by the electronic till since I 'had to pay there' and there was no one there to service me. I proceeded to the front where a cashier was ready to provide me with service, no problem. Before leaving, I sat down in Wal-Mart to contemplate the injustice I just faced."
