One day I was out traveling to out of town cities in Belgium. No big deal just curious. I walk into a food shopping store one of the well known chains, I hear staff shouting at me as soon as I walked in. I dont understand what they are saying so I just smile and wave. 5 minutes later I am approached by 5 staff including the manager, all shouting at me!? I am thinking WTF? Then the owner of the store pokes me and looks like he wants to punch me!? At this point I am totally confused no idea whats going on. So eventually they all run off. 5 minutes later police arrive and also poke me! Now I am getting a little annoyed. Then finally a woman who speaks English turns up and says The shop owner says no bags are allowed in the shop, I said eh? I only had my backpack on! Then the police checked my passport id and gave me a full criminal check over. I am clean and I get my passport back.
So the news here is, Belgium police rush to crime scene, the crime? wearing a backpack in a well known food chain. The punishment? being singled out and checked over buy 6 police officers. Great use of police resources! I have never experienced that anywhere on the planet earth.
(I can tell you the name of the town and shop address if you message me)
