I opened a product in store X. It was valued at $2.99. Cough tablets. I decided I did not want them and threw the entire package, opened in a bag where I had put my pizza box for my slice of pizza. I had PAID for the slice of pizza. Staff went through the bag I threw in the trash. Did they have the right to do that? Also while I was checking out merchandise I was paying for, the store manager came over with the item I had put in my bag and put in the trash and started to bawl me out as to "Why did you do this, you did not pay for these" and I was online and she was saying this in front of everyone. Don't I have rights too? Did she have the right to blast me in front of the whole store saying "You did not pay for these". How did she know I didn't pay for them? I denied knowing what she was talking about and am very angry about the entire thing. She did not have to bawl me out in public and I did not steal anything. I opened something and then threw it out as I was throwing out the box my slice of pizza came in which I had PAID for. How come this happened to me? What did I do wrong?
