A customer was shopping at the handbag counter of the defendant's store. She did not make any purchase and left the store. When she was a few feet away from the store, a store employee tapped her lightly on the shoulder to attract her attention and asked her if she had made any purchases. When she inquired why, he asked, "What about that bag in your hand?" The customer said that it belonged to her, and she opened it to show by its contents that it was not a new bag. The employee gave the customer a "real dirty look" and went back into the store without saying a word. The customer then sued the store for false imprisonment. Was the store liable? [ Abner v W. T. Grant Co., 139 SE2d 408 (Ga App)]
