AH Helmstraat — Attraction in Maastricht

I went to the Albert heijn on helmstraat and got extremely disrespected and mistreated. I went there to buy a bottle of Hugo, I am over the age of 18 and had my ID with me. As I was standing in the queue for the self scan one of the employees came up to me and forcibly grabbed the bottle of Hugo out of my hand, without asking for my ID and said “Do I look stupid to you little girl” and as I tried to explain to her that I have my ID with me she told me that I should’t even bother to argue my case since it was pointless.
