Yup. ABC. Always be careful. It was Sunday yesterday when I went grocery shopping to buy some veggies and other food for my stock. I go to the first store. This store has some items including food, and it is good because most items are sell at $2++ each. However.... The moment I browse through the items that I want to buy, someone passed by me and brushes through my tote bag. I do keep my wallet there. I turn and it was a female kid. But my gut tells me to slightly pushes the tote bag to my front side and I decided to follow my hunch. I was glad to do that because the moment I push my tote bag to my front side, the kid passed by and brush me again. No, it was a big space though, but the kid choose to pass me by very closely until I can feel that my tote bag tilts. I take a look at the kid and she quickly stormed off from the store. Always be careful no matter where you are! Stay safe, take care! Adie, February 2023.

@Adie04 Something was off for sure if you back away and the other person goes in closer. That is not right.

@sallypup Yup! Plus, the place has big space for people to move around. And it is early in the morning when the store just opened. So, not crowded yet. But yeah, I agree with you. Something was off, and I just stare at the kid until she goes away. Not mean to be rude, but I had to, to send the message that I am aware of what she is doing.

I am glad too. I don't know what the kid wants to do though. Looks very suspicious.

You're right, It's the best idea to keep your purse tightly zipped and a tight grip on it.

Yup. I am glad I did that. I don't know what the kid's intention by doing so. It's scary though.
