I had a horrible experience with Leslie, at the Roseville store. I had just arrived at the store, it was still early. Not a lot of customers or employees, where there. I went straight to the handbag isle. There I noticed a woman behaving very odd, she was talking to herself, having a conversation all to herself. I thought maybe she was on the phone or had a walkie talkie, but she had nothing not even headphones. I was concerned she was on drugs so I walked to the next isle, to get away from her. And shes still talking to herself, mumbling words. I move a couple isles down, in the gym bag/sock isle. That same female, goes to the same isle I was in and starts organizing some items infront of me. That's when I see that shes an employee. She then says to me, Are you buying that bag! She starts pointing at the bag in my cart. I say, I dont know yet. She then says, well if you're not going to buy it, then I'll put it back. So she grabs the bag from my cart. I dont say anything, she was acting very irritated and I didn't want any problems. So I continued to look at socks. With a firm and rude tone, Leslie says to me, Are you going to buy socks? I ignored her, and then she got closer and asked again, raising her voice. Are you buying those socks. I told her, I'm looking. She then starts mumbling and I hear her say, it doesnt look like you're buying socks. She then says to me, you need to stop defacing things. I asked her, what do you mean? She gets angry and says you need to buy these things and stop defacing stuff. It is not my job to put things away for you. I told her, youre the one that took my item from my cart, I didnt make you! Im a customer, im allowed to look at things. I'm not buying anything yet, still deciding!. She then yells at me, if you're not buying anything you need to leave this store. I told her, I just got here, you need to leave me alone! She starts yelling, no you need to leave my store, we dont need people like you here! I felt very threatened and racially profiled at that moment. So I started walking away from her. That's when she gets infront of me, inches away from my face, yelling, if you dont leave I'm calling the fucking police you f@#$ b@#$!. I yell at her, get away from me, get away! She continues to swear at me and she wouldnt get away, so I slightly pushed her away. So I can get away from her. That's when she starts calling for security and keeps cusing at me. Still no one has responded to any of this, no cashier, no manager, nothing. So I keep trying to leave, I'm now closer to the middle of the store and she continues to harass me by yelling and threatening that im going to jail for pushing her. I turn around to get away from her again and that's when she pushes my cart with my baby in the cart. She obviously wanted to fight. I yell at her to get away from me, you pushed my baby, youre crazy, you do not touch my baby! Then a cashier finally heads to us but she just goes to talk to leslie. They then walked away from me, as I'm asking for a manager. I find a manager and she tells me to leave because she was told that I pushed her employee. The manager didnt care about anything else that happened. I told her, leslie was harassing me and she pushed my cart with my baby in it, almost causing him to tople over. I felt very threatened by her. The manager still told me to leave.
Its not ok how I was treated by not only Leslie but the female manager that was there as well. read more
