, Week ago I went to kmart and bought few items, but I put something on my pocket accidentally and I caught. They brought me to back door and asked few questions filled some docs. No police involved, they banned me for 1 year for all Kmart.
But yesterday my friend asked my credit card to buy some groceries, but they also bought some items from Kmart(exact store where i was) and tapped my credit card.

My question is there have any possiblity to track my name from my credit card. Or are they track my appearance? How do they know that if I go any Kmart in Australia, I'm really worried that if they think that I went back that store.

Or should I go to Kmart and ask about this from manager? And explain about that my friend used my card just in case.

( AlsO I'm worried that if they have my photo from CCTV, what if they have, are they gonna publish this on public?)

Please give me some advice.

1. You were dumb to give somebody else your card,
but so far as I can tell, you have not done anything unlawful
as far as K-Mart is concerned.

2. Once your one year ban is up, then you can go back into K-Mart.
Maybe carry the banning note with you, as a precaution,
so you can show that the year has passed.

3. Don't worry too much - the trained monkeys security people are not that diligent.
They don't get paid enough to really care.
