We represent clients across Maryland including in Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Waldorf, Glen Burnie, Ellicott City, Frederick, Dundalk, Rockville and Ocean City. Our client’s shopping trip involved purchasing a watermelon for $6 at a self-checkout counter. However, upon trying to leave the store, she was confronted by a security guard. The security guard demanded to see the receipt for the $6 watermelon. He refused to allow her to leave when she was unable to produce the receipt. When our client explained to the security guard that she had paid for the watermelon, misplaced the receipt and asked him to simply review the videotape for proof of her payment, he refused. Instead, he prevented her from leaving and did not allow her to leave until she had provided a hand-written statement of her explanation of what happened.
