Q: Have you ever been accused of stealing something in China?
I have at a convenient store. It was a small convenient store and the girl always showed a bad attitude. On certain days a couple of her friends some middle school kids that were playing hooky always stood at the counter blocking the way for customers. The first day I tried to pay they were all standing around looking like idiots. Then the second time I went there I took out my money because I didn't want to deal with that again. So I opened up my bag and pulled out my wallet to take out some cash. She had one of her hooky friends come spy on me. He probably wanted to cause trouble they did have a little camera in that store. She gave me a hard time and told me to wait. I showed her I had nothing and I paid for my drink and left.
Has $hit like that ever happened to you before?
I did once go to some place to buy a bread knife and the girl in the shop looked terrified when I started asking for a knife. It didn't help matters when I lost my patience and started walking towards her saying (in Chinese) "Knife, knife, knife, KNIFE KNIFE!" whilst miming a stabbing motion. She turned and ran out the back door.

They do the same thing when I say "food", they've never seen someone as hungry as I
