seriously why can't people just leave me alone? am I that autistic looking that people accuse me of being a shoplifter as soon as I walk into the store?
fuck this ride, I want off.
How do you dress? And how do you carry yourself? I get this all the time cause I look shady as fuck.

pretty casual, I just woke up and threw on some normie looking jeans, plain t-shirt and some black vans.
my backpack was just a small-ish one where my wallet and waterbottle in it...

The backpack is what did it.
Backpack in a store automatically makes you a shoplifter. I'd have filed a report and sued them for the stress they caused you and the time wasted.
Not to mention the rep hit from being seen.
You may not be known where you live, but that makes no difference.
Not to mention he put his hands on your property. You let then get away with a ton.

Then it was the backpack

yeah it's probably a backpack unless you live in a city OP. I live in a city and always bring a backpack into stores but when I visit my parents in the suburbs it feels wrong having a backpack but I like not wasting plastic bags

You need those reusable bags that everyone has. Really there's no reason to have a backpack with those bags around. Especially in the eyes of normies.
