I was in home depot and had a shower head with one of those hoses attached, because I was looking for a washer that plugged into base. I was in the plumbing aisle, and realized I left my wallet in the car. I walked out the front door with a shower head in my hand to get it, and got chased out the door by 2 employees. When they said stop, I just stopped. I took about 5 seconds to explain and show them the hard water stains on the shower head proving it was used. All parties chuckled, and when I went back in with my wallet, they gave me the $1.19 washer for nothing, and apologized for the confusion.
Keep a calm head and explain yourself, and you have nothing to worry about.

In this situation I would agree as well as it has happened to me. However, if I was already out the door and two men approached me claiming to be from Walmart looking the way they did, I may have some reservations. In your case above Pylon, you knew they were employees. How can you tell that these two guys are employees of Walmart?
To be honest, I probably wouldn't be thinking this way but maybe after reading 100+ pages in the YLYL and Barbershop thread, I am getting a sense of how a person who has to be cognizant of their surrounding may feel.
If they suspected him of shoplifting, they should have stopped him in the store or at the very least had someone like a manager come out with these two guys to explain the situation. This of course is just my opinion.
