Just got accused of shoplifting a piece of crap keychain from this joke of an establishment. Before I share my full story, keep this in mind. After about 10 minutes of research, I found 10+ reviews from other people who have also been accused of shoplifting. This seriously troubling trend tells me that McGuckin management doesn't give a rat's ass about treating their customers with respect. Here's my story:

Two employees followed me out of the store and demanded that I come back inside. As a couple middle-aged managers stared me down with their smug, judgmental mugs, the henchmen informed me that they saw me slip the keychain into my right pants pocket. I said, "You sure about that?" as I emptied everything from my pants and hoodie pockets. Phone, wallet, car keys, and OMG...magically, no junky keychain! I get it. Well, sort of. They probably have to deal with these problems fairly often. But you better be damn sure of yourself before you wrongfully accuse someone of a crime in the middle of your store during busy shopping hours. And if you're going to make that gamble, be prepared to face the consequences of being wrong. Plus, I can think of about 18 better, more tactful ways to go about this type of confrontation. The silver lining here is that they are the ones who look like fools after I proved my innocence and walked out. I'm all for supporting small, local businesses, but I will be going to The Home Depot now.
