I got stopped by undercover store detective today and taken to a small room. On walking round Tesco with a shopping bag rather than a trolley, my phone had rang when I was down an aisle. The conversation was about when I was going to see my nans burial plot (she died 3 months ago) and lived 3.5 hrs away. The conversation threw me and got me thinking about my nana again, and I continued to think about it for the rest of my trip round Tesco. Totally oblivious to what I was doing, I picked two tins of cat food off shelf and put them in my pocket instead of my shopping bag. I then continued to a till and paid for me goods, not realising there was a Nutella chocolate pot in the bottom of my bag which I hadn't put on the conveyor belt.
I continued to walk out and then forgot I needed a lettuce so went to grab one and qued up at customer service to pay, stood there staring into space for 5 mins, I put the lettuce in my bag and walked out , again totally oblivious to the fact I hadn't paid for it and totally forgot about the cat food in my pocket. Needless to say I got stopped at the door and taken to the room where they totalled the goods upto I think £3.60 . They said the police won't be called but they will be pursuing me for a fine which has to be paid. I tried explaining that I was miles away cos of the phone call I had but they weren't interested. They asked for my name and address and said I was banned for 6 months and will get a fine through the post. I had to sit down in the room because I felt dizzy because I'm pregnant . It's also bought on an anxiety attack. They escorted me out of store and told me I had to pay I had no choice. I'm now awaiting the letter . I'm so worried but I don't want to get stressed as it will effect my pregnancy.
