I
decided
to
check
out
The
Paper
Store
today
while
shopping
at
the
Maine
Mall
with
my
girlfriend.
I
recently
had
a
birthday
and
was
in
search
of
some
thank
you
cards.
Upon
entering
the
store
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
with
the
wide
selection
of
cards,
gifts,
toys
etc.
I
had
never
visited
the
store
before
and
was
excited
to
see
so
many
items.
I
walked
back
toward
the
card
selection
and,
after
searching
for
a
few
minutes,
asked
an
employee
for
help
finding
thanks
you
notes
sold
in
packages
rather
than
individually.
After
being
led
to
the
selection,
I
took
my
time
picking
out
two
boxes
of
cards
I
found
suitable.
As
I
rounded
the
corner
of
the
stand,
I
noticed
various
journals
with
prompts
and
stopped
to
look
closer.
In
doing
this,
I
tucked
the
two
boxes
of
thank
you
notes
I
was
planning
to
buy
under
my
arm
while
holding
my
wallet
in
my
left
hand
and
the
journal
I
was
looking
at
in
my
right.
Almost
immediately
a
male
employee
who
had
not
spoken
to
me
at
all
during
my
visit
startled
me
from
behind
asking
if
I
was
finding
everything
okay.
I
turned
around
quickly
and
stated
that
I
was
finding
everything
I
needed
quite
fine,
including
the
two
boxes
of
cards
under
my
arm.
I
had
already
been
greeted
by
a
different
employee
when
I
entered
and
subsequently
interacted
with
another
in
my
search
for
the
thank
you
notes.
This
left
me
slightly
puzzled
as
to
why
he
had
sought
me
out,
considering
there
were
multiple
other
customers
in
the
store
pursuing
the
selection.
I
felt
as
though
I
had
been
singled
out.
I
assumed
he
was
just
being
friendly
and
went
back
to
looking
at
the
journal,
when
he
then
asked
me
if
he
could
hold
my
cards
at
the
register.
The
only
time
I
have
ever
been
asked
if
an
employee
at
an
establishment
could
hold
my
items
at
the
register
was
when
I
have
been
clothing
shopping
and
my
hands
appeared
overly
full.
Never
have
I
had
this
occur
at
a
small
retail
shop.
I
was
shocked
and
offended.
I
was
certainly
not
the
only
customer
in
the
store,
why
was
I
approached
and
asked
if
the
items
I
was
clearly
intending
on
purchasing
be
held
at
the
register?
I
immediately
felt
as
though
he
was
suspicious
of
me.
I
handed
him
the
items
and
found
my
girlfriend
in
another
aisle
and
discussed
what
had
occurred.
We
decided
it
was
best
to
give
our
business
to
Papyrus
and
exited
the
store.
I
was
never
intending
to
steal
$9.99
thank
you
notes.
I
work
in
customer
service
and
am
not
a
thief
of
any
kind.
This
incident
made
me
incredibly
uncomfortable
and
I
will
not
be
returning
in
the
foreseeable
future.
