    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Falsely Accused of Shoplifting - Detained, Searched & Humiliated

    Thanks to everyone for your input. I've done a lot of thinking and have decided that I am going to write a letter or concern to the executives at Optical Shop of Aspen and their parent company. I will ask that they consider a substantive training program for employees to limit the mistakes...
