I Have Been to Paris

My friend & her husband just got home from Paris on Monday.

They told me that they had a bad experience there.
She said a store employee accused them steal something from the store.

This person made my friend & her husband open their backpacks in public, while people were looking at them.

When this store employee didn’t find what he or she looking for, they said sorry.

Definitely, it wasn’t a pleasant experience to go to Paris.

Do you ever had this experience as tourists?

A small tip should this ever happen to anyone here again (And assuming you are innocent. Stand still and agree to open your bags as soon as the police are called and arrive. Then wait for that to happen. Some Parisiennes do like to use their position to make a tourist feel embarrassed. Explaining to the police that you do not trust the individual not to set you up and wanting an independent verification of your innocence will shift the embarrassment back where it belongs as well as taking the shops time.
