Question:

21. Portentia Lardo, circus fat lady, visits the U-Pik-M Meat Market. She browses for a while in the Beef Department. As she leaves, not having purchased anything, a store detective runs up behind her yelling, in front of other shoppers, “Stop! Thief! She has a side of beef under her coat!” She is, indeed, so large that she looks like she’s hiding something. Portentia stops, mortified, and the detective catches up to her, saying, “Come with me.” She follows him to the store office, where he asks her to take off her coat. She does so. When it’s obvious she’s only fat and not a thief, he says, “I’m sorry. You can go.” Does Portentia have a valid claim against the store? _________________
