Dollar General — Local services in Abilene

I am writing to formally raise a concern about ongoing mistreatment I’ve experienced while shopping at your store. I previously spoke with management to clarify that I place items into my personal bags as I shop, with the full intent of purchasing them at checkout. Despite this, I continue to be treated as if I am attempting to steal.

I have had more than one employee follow me around the store, and I strongly believe that a member of your loss prevention team has been staring at my backside in a way that feels invasive and inappropriate as I unload my items at the register. This behavior is unacceptable and degrading.

If it continues, I will use my graduate student loan refunds to speak with an attorney. As a graduate student currently enrolled in a master’s program, I am prepared to take action if this situation does not improve.

I believe I am being profiled, and I deserve to shop with dignity and without harassment. Please address this...

As I was going to the checkout with my other items I noticed that ALL of the black hair products are behind the counter. It's very insulting. Either they think all black people steal or we just don't deserve space out on the floor with the other hair products. Either way, I won't be giving them my...
