My criminal friend

I know it's old to compare everybody to the Nazis, but Hemköp on Söder come pretty damn close. A friend of mine got hauled into the back of the store by a security guard last Thursday because he had absent-mindedly munched four (4) pieces of candy before paying for them at the counter.

Despite apologizing, he had his nationality (and weirdly also that of his wife) questioned, he was told he couldn't use his cell phone, the police were summoned and now a prosecutor has to wonder if the reason she went to law school was to deal with make-believe offenses like this.

What is Hemköp doing here? Taking a brave stand for law and order or bothering a grown man (and good customer) who made a mistake, not to mention police and judicial officers?
