I am a 47 year old disabled woman whom has been POURING my money into the 7-11 on 8th street for…read morequite a number of years, if you were to ask the nice elderly woman named Wendy that works evening/ mornings there, she would tell u that Jason ans k spend anywhere from $25.00,.up to as much as $75.00/ $85.00 there DAILY not including our other purchases. Because of my disability, i have to drive a scooter. Just not 15 minutes ago, i drove my power chair jn the store.as.i.have done.numerous times.in.tbe past. I proceeded to drive to the deli area where the subs , bacon, eggs, cheese are kept. There were 2employees standing a little off rk the side, but more in my way than i theirs. I had to turn around so i could grab a few puďdings, and the one i believe his name starts with an S starts walking toward me. I smiled at him and was sure he was gonna assisst me in reaching the puddings, however, he proceeds to tell me that i am not alllwed in the store with my scooter and tells me to leave!! Well, i was shocked, and embarassed. I told him i cannot walk, but he insists that.i must Leave. I ask him his name so i can make a.formal complaint. He refuses to tell me his name so i ask him hjs hame again and he says he cannot tell me. That it is illegal!! So i ask him if he is the boss, and he replies that he is the OWNER!! I tell him that is a lie, that i know who the owners are. So i take my puddings to the till while being folliwed, furthering my embarassment. While my purchases are being rang in, he proceeda to make a phone call to his boss, speaking in punjabi so i dont understand........so he thinks. Howe ver my good friends and landlords are punjabi, and i understand enough that he is lying through his teeth!! Instead of
that i was trying to get behind the counter!! That i was trying to go where customers are not allowed, and i also believe he was saying that i almost hit him and otber customers.....on my life, absolutely Nothing even remotely close happened like that!! Further more, a few monrhs ago, i was picking out a large amount of lottery tickets, approximately $80 worrh when the store hit busy and a line formed. Do u know what he did? He told me i had emough, that it was too busy for him to spend so much time on me, he then finalizes my sale and yells " next person"! Is this the way we should be treated because i cannot walk? Or is it because im a female? Either way, the way i was treated was rude, wrong, embarrassing, and if i dont hear back from the real owner, and he is NOT made to apologize, cjdc tv, and possibly the newspaper as well. I WILL NOT BE TREATED SO DISRESPECTABLY, NOT FROM SOME LOW LEVEL EMPLOYEE WHEN IVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS TO PAY HIS SALARY!!
