It appears that I was racially profiled in this store today. I am a black woman and I am also a long time customer of this store, so long it used to be called Deals. But I digress, the cashier, never seen this guy before, but I am sure you can guess his color, looks at me like a suspect when I first arrive in the store. I had walked in with a Target bag with a previous purchase from Walgreen's that had paper towels in my bag. I grab a cart and lay down my bag in the cart. I start browsing the store for the items I had intended to purchase here. I get to the register and as this guy is adding up the stuff. He asks what about those paper towels? I told him he was free to check them since they're from Walgreen's. And I pulled one out to show him. He says oh ok and goes back to finishing the transaction. Now the store cameras can verify I never touched any paper towels in the store and that I came in with my purchases. What ticked me off was the assumption that I tried to shoplift some paper towels and microaggressive way it was asked. Then upon clarification, no apology for the assumption. While I understand retail theft is a serious issue and it is becoming very insidious at this period in time. Don't go assuming that every black person is trying to steal something. And at least apologize for your error. Innocent until proven guilty is the saying correct? A black woman in a mask, does not someone a thief. I am highly perturbed and so tired of these assumptions. It is tiring af! This store is already bare as it is. Nothing really worth for me to steal in the first place. Do better Dollar Tree and teach your non POC employees better sensitivity and not to make assumptions without any proof and to work on their inherent biases.
