Indianapolis, IN asked in Domestic Violence, Small Claims, Consumer Law and Personal Injury for Indiana

Q: Can I sue?

I decided to go shopping for some clothes and wanted to try on a few items before purchasing them. Only a few fit me so I didn't take the ones that I didn't want. When I left the dressing room there was a worker going through the items in my cart and I asked her where I can put the items that I did not decide on taking. She started yelling at me asking me why I had so many items if I wasn't going to purchase them, I explained to her in a shaky voice that most of the items didn't fit me. I went back to retrieve a few more items from the dressing room and she followed me into the dressing room still yelling at my asking me why I wasn't taking the items. As I was walking away she told me that I was making her work harder. I was the only person in the dressing room. I honeslty thought she was going to attack me when she followed me into the dressing room.

A: No, because there was no physical harm done. You should, however, report her to management. That's absolutely unacceptable behavior.
