RAYMOND.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience due to the discriminatory and disrespectful treatment I received during a recent visit.
I came into the store to purchase a tool for my boyfriend. Initially, we were greeted by an employee named Raymond, who seemed polite. However, the interaction quickly took a turn. As my boyfriend was paying, Raymond looked at me and laughed, then asked, "Are you going to pay for the rest of it?" Confused, I asked what he meant, and he pointed at me and repeated, "What's in your pocket? Are you going to pay for the rest of it?"
I was shocked and pulled out a receipt from my pocket, asking what he thought I was stealing. His response was another laugh and a dismissive "We'll see," clearly implying he expected the security alarms to go off. They didn't--because I hadn't taken anything.
To make matters worse, he walked over to the area we had been in, presumably to check if something was missing. It was clear he realized he had made a baseless accusation, yet no apology was offered.
It doesn't matter if im a woman, child, man, elderly ..being accused of theft without cause was not only humiliating but deeply upsetting. I hope this review encourages the management to address such behavior and ensure all customers are treated with respect and dignity. I do understand he may be trying to do his job & catch shoplifters but there's TONS of actual shoplifters that he should be worrying about and the way he went about it was not professional nor respectfully; if he wanted to stop me for stealing he should've been 100% sure or checked the cameras not wrongly accuse me and disregard the whole situation after he knew I wasn't stealing. If he isn't fired I hope management atleast has a talk with his actions. read more
