JBSA Randolph Main Exchange — Local services in Schertz

I believe I had posted this previously and it was taken down so I will post this again. I have a problem with social anxiety. I tend to become overwhelmed​ in public places. I even break into a sweat and my heart will sometimes start racing. I have never stolen in my life and I of course have forgotten things in my cart but was always quick to return it. Which has only happened once. I have never been arrested either. But when I went with my friend who brought her baby in the stroller, we decided to just put our thing on the stroller like hanging clothes on it. Well I was walking around debating if I wanted a $1.98 bottle of nail polish on sale. It was also the same color as my friends stroller. So we get to checkout and I'm looking around to just put the nail polish somewhere. But my friend was asking for help and I needed to get my wallet. I thought I set the nail polish down so I loaded the belt and got my wallet. We didn't walk out the store when theft protection approached us and told us to follow we asked why because we were confused but the women refused to speak to us. So we get to the office and I quickly remember the nail polish. I forgot to set it somewhere. It was on the top stroller. I was already freaking out heart racing, in tears. Because it became very clear they were going to arrest me. MP was called and told me lawyers normally don't want us to say anything, so I didn't. It back fired later on that, because they said I never gave a statement. This has never happened to me. One MP stated that it was a good thing that this happened on base or they would have beaten me. Wrong, my uncle worked for theft protection at Target. Said $1.98 he either wouldn't bother or just ask you to pay for. BX did neither. So they arrested me, took my info and debarred me from base, confiscated my military ID, charged me $200, and all the while I was pregnant. My husband was away, and I was basically alone dealing with all of this. I told one of the MP I have never stolen. He explained that they did this to a mother with 3 kids because of milk duds. He even apologized that this happened to me. Later we asked to see the video and they illegally with held it from me. Now I have a record for theft and I'm having a hard time finding a job to help support my family. All because of $1.98 accident. They basically took away my voice and ruined my record. Please be careful when shopping here. If you have social anxiety please do...

Another sublime experience those flying guys continue to amaze me. However I did some shopping at the base Commissary. I was disappointed that the produce section, despite having a wide variety of fruits and vegetables was a disappointment because of the low quality of the produce. HEB has excellent produce. I will always pick my veggies there. Furthermore many of the items in the store are outrageously expensive compared to HEB or Wal-Mart. Sorry DOD. However one doesn't pay State sales tax on Base, so that is a redeeming feature for Military personnel. I just hope the AF doesn't ban me from Base for my criticism of the Commissary because I hope to spend more weekends at the Randolph Inn. Be ready for my next Post it will be a journey into the fantasy world 🌎 of Art Deco architecture that is so prominent a feature of the Base' buildings. Pictures will accompany my Post and account of my stay at the Inn. I wonder what goes on...

My visit was ok until I walked to electronics to retrieve my items purchased online. I chose to Pick Up In Store only to find the items weren't pulled nor did i get any help. The store was nearly empty and 4 employees in the electronics department who could've (but didn't) pull the items. I SAW THE ITEMS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE SHELVES...I went to customer service thinking it would've been pulled only to find a rude woman there who seemed to have an issue with listening. I tried to speak and before i could finish a single sentence i was continuously cut off and told to wait for the email. I get it the email procedure but how long does it take to pull two items off the shelf and place them in customer services pick up. Walmart, Lowe's, Target, and Home Depot has better customer service than this. I was disappointed with the conduct. It's the last time i shop there. Smh thank you for...
