Dirk has always been one of my favorite shops due to its affordability and friendly staff. I particularly enjoy visiting the branch in the heart of Hoofddorp, where the service is usually excellent. However, my experience today was quite disappointing.
I was once again asked by the same cashier to open my bag ā this being the third time she has done so. The cashier, who appears to have Southeast Asian features, was monitoring me even while I was standing in line and another customer was paying. When my turn came, she asked me to open my bag yet again and when I refused, her team leader asked me to leave my groceries, leave the shop and never come again.
I believe that this repeated request is rooted in judgment based on my appearance, specifically because I have dark skin. It's disheartening to feel singled out in this way, especially when I have been a regular customer and have always had positive interactions at this store.
While I still appreciate Dirk for its prices and most of its staff, this experience left me feeling unfairly treated and uncomfortable. I hope that Dirk takes steps to ensure that all customers are treated with respect, regardless of their background...

The amount ā¬0.65wouldnāt have made a big difference to me. What really bothered me was the lack of respect and transparency. It felt like a deliberate omission, and thatās unacceptable. Customers deserve honesty and consideration, even for...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIt seems the manager encourage the employees to check the bag of any non-dutch non- blond person, and to make his racist behavior less obvious, seems this responsibility has fallen on the any not native dutch person that works there. when i confronted the manager, the disgusting man, took absolutely no responsibility and lied about how everyones bag was being checked. Neve gonna shop there again.
"Response from the vomar 16 minutes ago It's unfortunate that you experienced this. The bag check is a general house rule at Dirk and must be carried out at every customer. ^Jackie"
