I remember I once had a friend from Japan come visit LA and I offered to drive him around. He for some reason wanted to visit Beverly Hills so we went there and got off at one of the shopping areas. We popped into one random store just to look around and IMMEDIATELY some security guard at the entrance started stalking us around the shop. No matter where we went he would be at the corner. There were several other customers there too left completely alone. Also I remember looking at one of the jackets on some random rack and even those ones were like $4000. Wild.

Anyway yeah some stores hate you and want you to never step foot inside.

My gf and I were followed by security through a furniture store. A FURNITURE STORE. I was carrying measuring tape, and writing notes the whole time.

Like, what was the point? Did they expect me to stuff a recliner in my pants at some point?

Commissions! Some furniture store workers are on commission. They saw you with notes in hand and measuring tape ready and were excited to get a live one.
