Did Sams Club Go Too Far?

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

A Pittsburgh man was shopping at a Sams Club store in Monroeville, Pennsylvania when store security stopped him. He was told that they had been watching him and had video tape on his activities at two other Sams Club stores as well as information on his buying habits. He was not allowed to purchase the items that he had in his cart, his Sams Club membership card was confiscated and he was told to never set foot in any Sams Club or Walmart again or else he would be prosecuted. When a reporter contacted the corporate offices of Sams Club to inquire about the incident, he was told that there had been a mistake. An apology was given to the man and he was told that there would be an investigation.
