I've had the pleasure of going to the super Walmart in Leesburg several times recently, out of 4 or 5 trips I've been accused of theft 3 times. Ok, maybe not accused but checked at the door and self checkout to ensure I wasn't up to no good. I haven't stole anything in 60 years! (lets not talk about the 5 and dime when I was a kid, and fire works, and my grandpas best friend the town police chief).
