I don't shop at this store very often, but the times that I've visited, it was clean, well stocked, great sushi bar. Nice shoe selections for women. It's always exciting to visit, because there is always some new area for me to explore, when I have the time. Okay that's the good part. Here's the bad part. Now this is just my opinion, and I could be wrong. I am a person of a certain race, and unfortunately, sometimes when I shop, I get followed around the store, because I guess it's assumed by some people that I am automatically going to try to shop lift or something. It's extremely annoying, but it happens. A couple of times that I visited this place, I felt like I was being watched. The first time I was with my sister, and we were in the shoe department looking at boots. The store wasn't terribly busy at the time. Some gentlemen came over, and had his phone out, and started talking to us, and was taking pictures of some shoes on the same aisle, very near where we were. My sister had found a pair of shoes that she liked, and decided to try them on. This gentlemen was telling us how he was taking pictures of shoes for his wife, and kind of just kept walking up and down the aisle, having this conversation with his wife. He never left the aisle, kind of just hung out. My sister made her selection, she paid for the shoes and we left. The first thing she said to me when we left the store, "You know that guy was watching us right, making sure we wouldn't steal anything." And I replied, that it did feel as if we were being watched. We kind of just laughed it off. Next time I was with my sister again, this time we were in the check out lanes, I don't remember the exact scenario, but this young guy was watching us as we were checking out. He made it obvious, because he just kept lingering around the area, doing things that seemed pointless, like moving a basket or something. As we're walking out the store, he says goodnight, and my sister said good night, and thank you. Then she remarks again how this young guy was watching us. This particular time she was annoyed, because it's just so insulting to have some teenager, watching two grown women, as if we're foolish enough, or desperate enough to steal from a grocery store. Furthermore, once a person is in line, and making their final purchases, what further threat is there, that we needed to be watched as we get checked out, and leave the store? So today I visited the store again, by myself this time. I stopped in for a quick visit, to pick some things up for my parents, and they have this particular yogurt that my mom likes, that we don't see offered at other grocery stores near us. So I walk in with my little basket, I want to get in and out as quickly as possible. I quickly got my items, it couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes for me to get everything. The longest time spent was in the yogurt section, they only had one flavor of her yogurt, and I was walking up and down a bit, just to make sure that there weren't any additional flavors. So I went straight from the yogurt section to the check out line, I didn't go look at shoes, or check out the sushi selections, or anything, just went straight to the lines. I emptied the contents of my little basket on the belt, and pulled out my cash to pay. I noticed a rather fat guy standing directly behind my line. He had on the khakis and white shirt, and a name tag, didn't see the name. He wasn't doing anything, just standing there, right in my lane, not right behind me, but a little further back just observing things. I turned my head at first because I could just feel someone looking at me, and when I saw him, he just turned his head, and starting looking from side to side. It was the weirdest thing. First I thought, well maybe he's just a manager, watching the lanes or something, to make sure that everything was running smoothly, but I still felt uncomfortable because of where he was standing, and the fact that he wasn't doing anything, not cleaning, getting baskets or something, just standing right there. It made me very uncomfortable. The young guy who was checking me out greeted me, asked me how I was doing and everything, he was pleasant, but in that moment, I just felt bad. I wondered, one, am I being watched by this huge man, and if so, why? What exactly did I do during my short visit, that would warrant me being watched like this? As the guy was scanning my items, I just looked at this person, and he just stood there, and kept looking from side to side. Then I got my bags and left. I don't usually pay attention to things like this, but today's episode really made me feel like crap. I didn't do anything wrong, and I have this person blatantly stand right in my line, and watch me like I'm some sort of criminal. He wasn't even trying to disguise it. It was embarrassing. I won't be coming back. I know my opinion doesn't matter, and I'm sure the people that work there will appreciate my absence. Just needed to vent read more
