I won't begrudge shop owners stopping someone they have reason to suspect. I will begrudge shop owners who think I should be searched just because I'm in their store.
I got this a lot when I was in my mid-20's... I looked young, and shop owners assumed I was a teenager, which of course meant I was a thief. I stopped shopping several places because they'd suspect me of shoplifting. I've never shoplifted a thing in my life, not even a pack of gum as a kid
