If you Love Having Workers on a Power trip, Acting like American Gestapo where there are No Constitutional Rights pertaining to Life Liberty or the Pursuit of happiness, then this is the place for you.
Today, I apparently, failed move fast enough after a store worker yelled out to clear the room. I browsed the bins on my way to the other side, but by then I was confronted by the angry worker. I saw plenty of people on the other side of the room and I wanted to go strait ahead to join with them, as told, yet by then the woman had grabbed the front of my cart and informed me that I must now go the long way around. The others were just two yards away.
The worker went on ranting what they do to people who failed to follow the RULES in this store. She told me that she would now call the police, I was not Allowed to Keep my Shopped-for items that you must dig through bins to find, and that I was welcome to come back tomorrow, but in no way allowed to purchase any of my hard-found items today.
Being Black and having the Police being called on me in this day and age aside, a greater offense was when the white Power Tripping Woman called her Black Lackie Manager to FINISH the Insult against a Paying Customer.
Like one being treated like a fool, I stood there and asked them both if they realized what country we were in and did they know the basic tenants of constitutional rights?
I ask her to forgive the fact that this was my first time shopping there and unfamiliar with any of their strict rules while shopping, as I have never been subjected to such Offensive Behavior from any Store I was ever in, in my entire life, even in the sixties and seventies.
During the exchange and appeal to keep my cart that was confiscated, the other shoppers informed that they just called the police on another shopper the day before and that it was a typical event in that store.
The Police who are just around the corner concurred. They had been called there on other occasions and that this EXPERIENCE was Typical there.
I asked the police, was this a Social Experiment of some sort, and what Laws had I broken to warrant Three Police Cars to set upon me for my removal from the, wrongly named "GoodWill" Store?
I asked them about the cost to taxpayers when they had to stop what they are doing to Remove persons from the Goodwill Store with such unorthodox rules and particularly one who had a Woman Working In it who felt so Empowered, Hurt and Authoritarian Enough to Kick Shoppers out of the sore with the help of Police on a daily Basis?
Ok, you get the jist..
Perhaps this is what you like if you are ok with AUTHORITARIANISM and being treated like a CRIMINAL at the drop of a second-hand hat as a Part of your Shopping Experience.
I FOR ONE DID NOT LIKE BEING YELLED AT, DIRECTED TO WALK A CERTAIN WAY, OR HAVING THE POLICE CALLED ON ME ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON OF SHOPPING.
The harsh treatment of Customers on a Daily Basis, including the use of the Bellmar Police who were at the GoodWill Manager's Disposal on the Tax Payer Dime, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, DEGRADING, HARASSING and UNREASONABLE for AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A POWER-HUNGRY WOMAN there who is Happy to Take Your Liberties Away while she is Running the Adult-Depraving Show!
I now have no idea if there will be further charges heaped upon me for my choice to Shop at the Goodwill today, as once I exited the store as the police told me, I questioned the Police's Reason for taking all of my information as if I had engaged in a Criminal Act. They then informed me that I was Obstructing Justice and Trespassing. THE WORKER AT THE GOODWILL GOT HER WISH.
My next letter will be to the BBB, My Local News Paper, the Consumer Protection Bureau, and The ACLU. Beware! read more
