This rant is going to be about a experience that I had at Shoppers Drug Mart with some friends.
Ok gather around friends, It is story time.
Story
Ok gather around Kids It is story time.
Ok So me and my friends we were at Shoppers Drug Mart we went to get some chips and some pop for later on that night for a walking dead marathon followed by the finale. So we went and we decided to browse at some other stuff that they had (ie. Video games , Magazines . So we were just browsing then a security guard comes and starts breathing down my neck. So I say "Can I help you?" Then he says no I am just doing my job, So I then say "So why don't you go and breath down that mans neck?" He then proceeds to say "Because He hasn't done anything wrong" I said "Mean neither I'm looking at magazines and you're looking at me because I am 15?" Then He just proceed to walk away and it really pissed me off so I just left then went to a different store and got my shit from their.
It's not really just the story but Don't you find it **** annoying.
Anyone else have this problem?

No I don't really have a problem without reason being I am 17. But even when I was younger I never had that problem.

I understand what your saying. Same thing happened with me and some friends at Home Depot. Why were we at Home Depot? Cuz we could be. Why did we draw attention? The 21 year old (adult) with us was wearing a rainbow Afro. they didn't like us, but we weren't doing anything bad either

Never happened to me, but I would get pissed. Does seem very irritating/annoying.

It happens to me a lot. It's just because of how I dress and act though. They're taught to profile, so we end up being the target.
I worked at a Kmart awhile ago, there was a few times when 5-10 groups of kids would be walking around. They would have me watch them to make sure they aren't stealing and if they started to be disruptive they would have me kick them out.
