So get this!! I was buying some beer on saturday for the game on sunday and I picked up a quarter keg and a few 18 packs cuz I was having a party on saturday night also. I rented the tap and got in line for my beer. while I was being rung up I received a call on my cell phone from my buddy so I was talking on it and half paying attention to the cashier. She gave me a total and I gave her money and I proceeded to walk out of the store and then this lady comes up to me and asks for my receipt. I said sure here it is. She says "Sir you didn't pay for the Keg" I was half stunned really and I looked at it and she was right but I didn't even realize it. So I said oh sorry she must not have charged me for it Let me go back and pay for it. She says no come with me . They tried to arrest me!!! They ended up "letting me off" with a 250 dollar fine!!! and kept me in this room like a criminal for like 2 hrs. It may have been boneheaded on my part but I am not one to steal ever or even get into trouble. It was like they were setting me up or something! Regardless I am very angry at this and will never shop at WEGMANS again and I ask all of you to do the same!!!! To top it all off BTW the beoch at the front desk gave me a tap that didn't work even!!!! WHAT A JOKE WEGMANS!!! Sorry people but I had to get that off my chest!!!:punchu:

Ask for a copy of the store's security camera video. That should prove you were on the phone while you were being rung up and prove your point. Then ask to talk to somebody that is up the "food chain" at Wegmans and get your money back!Comment

I shop at Tops anyway because I'd rather support a Buffalo store than a Rochester store.

Who did you have to pay the $250 fine too? Wegmans? No way that would have stood up in court. If your story is exactly as you told it you should have refused to pay and let them arrest you. Then you could have gotten a lawyer and slapped a lawsuit on them.Comment

WOW! That's pretty scary, T. And that's a pretty steep fine for something you didn't even intentionally do! There was no discussion, just pay this and you're free or don't pay it and you're going to jail?!? That sounds like B.S. to me. I don't blame you for not shopping there anymore. If I were you, I'd write a letter to the regional manager and explain what had happened. $250 is a lot of money to be out when you didn't do anything wrong.
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt
Is there ain't not answer here on earth

Good Idea arctic!! The security guard seemed to think that I said that I paid for the keg already which is ridiculous!! If that were the case where would I have paid for it and why didn't the cash register ask for my receipt. What an FING joke!!! I am going to try to talk to some higher ups artic!!Comment

Just be quick about asking for a copy, Thurm. Most stores write over the old tape every 24 hours.Comment

Yes it was to Wegmans!!! Well I didn't want to get arrested or anything! I maybe should have done that but I don't really know how the law works in that situation and I am pissed off about it. They made it seem like I was a robbing money or something! The gay thing is I was at Topps and they didn't have any kegs!Comment

I think in situations like that they know they can intimidate you, knowing you'll just do whatever it is they tell you to do in order to get out of the situation. I think you definitely should request a copy of the store video and then copy it and send it along with a letter to the regional manager and if you know any lawyers, send cc copy to an attorney. You can scare them too. :)
