ACCUSING ME OF STEALING

Today (Aug 28, 2021), I was accused of stealing 2 packages of Lime Juice WITHOUT ANY PROOF.

I bought these 2 packages from another store nearby by cash and had no bill before going shopping at Dong Thanh market.

I found out they also had this product. I took 1 package, checked the price with the cashier and put it back right away (as I couldnt find a price tag at the counter).

When I paid my bill around 60 CAD and left, they called me back and accused me of stealing these 2 packages (about 16 cad)

I asked them to check the cameras or call the police. The cashier without my permission took my 2 packages and put them on their counter. I told them not to do that as it was my asset.

The cashier kept asking me the bill. Well I dont have to prove myself or where I get my stuff. They accused me, they should have given me their proof.

The owner showed up after 1 hour. He asked me to give my contact and my driver license then would let me go. I didnt want to leave. I wanted them to apologize me in person for making up things.

I asked them to call the police as my phone was dead. They kept rejected it. They asked me to leave and return tomorrow (and kept my 2 packages). They asked me to call my family. They asked me to take photos of me. They treated me like a criminal WITHOUT ANY PROOF after 2 HOURS.

Eventually, the cashier after raised her voice, took my 2 packages, said 100% I stole from the store, compared my 2 packages with theirs. The barcode were the same buy my 2 packages had DIFFERENT EXP DATE from theirs.

Now she wanted to leave (as the store was closed) and said sth with the owner, she gave me my 2 packages and said "Im sorry. Ok". The owner gave me some fruits but I didnt take it.

I wont come back to this...

Prices are right if they have the produce that you seek. There is a butcher in the back, they have eggs, fruit, veggies and i went looking for potsticker wraps. Cash only folks and that comes with a bit of grouchiness as the cash. Very little conversation and english.

They do have a good selection of asian noodles - some junk food and fresh-ish veggies. Just...

A small Vietnamese market located along Kingsway. It looks a bit old and the selection of food and goods isn’t very diverse, though the prices are reasonable. Parking is available on the right side of the building.

A friend recommended this place so I came by to pick up some Vietnamese spices and mooncakes, but honestly, the market didn’t leave much of...
