>>Try it before you buy it, but she didn't have the money to buy it. It was a heavy-handed response, but she was still wrong. Plus, 12 years old and out on her own? Is that normal?

>If I had a 12 year old daughter, no, she would not be out shopping by herself. Maybe things are different over there. She was in the wrong, but my lord, three cops and a security guard? Talk about "over the top". Dangerous criminals don't get that sort of coverage. If I lived there, I too would stop shopping at 'Boots'.

God Grief! Stop shopping ?
If his happened here (which is impossible) I would not be surprised if some father came all the way in with double-cabin truck
(through the vitrinas) to drive his daughter home. Security guards would need police - to save their stupid heads <g>

Who the heck think they are ???
