More details to this question:
I was in a convenient store with 2 of my friends looking for food to buy. I had my wallet in my hand. While walking down the aisle not sure what to get, out of nowhere comes the store clerk up to me and grabs me by my sweatshirt with both hands, and yells at me saying I'm stealing. He also means to take his own hands and run them through all of my pockets touching my personal belongings inside my pockets screaming "where is it" He then scolds me saying "he can do whatever he wants" when I told him he cannot do that. I never ever tried to hide anything or put anything in my pockets. I also had my wallet out during the altercation proving I was going to pay. I never attempted to leave the store until he kicked me out. He yelled saying I go into the store every day to steal when I hardly go into that store. I prefer a different convenient store but didn't feel like driving that far at that time.
