Melissa had a prosthetic leg that extended from her knee down to her shoe. The employees were shocked when they saw it. They couldn’t believe how inconspicuous Melissa had been and how much they had tormented her.
Melissa turned red and turned away from the security guards. The situation was resolved with a big apology. The alarm had been triggered by the metal in her leg, and the security guards were just doing their job.
Melissa angrily left the store. Once again, she had to experience something embarrassing. She had hoped that she would no longer have to go through this, how often would she have to face this situation? Would it never end?
Despite all these setbacks, Melissa remained relatively confident. She was an independent woman who lived a fulfilling life. The alarm system at Target couldn’t ruin that for her. She couldn’t sit around and feel bad about herself.
