Employee wouldn’t stop patrolling my friend & I. We were innocently looking through the beanie baby stand near the front of the store when a staff member leaves her position behind the register specifically to watch us from about 10 feet away. Every time I looked up, she was staring right at us. 2 minutes later, the staff member speaks into her walkie talkie to call over another staff member. She comes over, they both whisper to each other & stare at us again. Although I understand watching customers who demonstrate suspicious activity, my friend & I were not displaying such behavior, and therefore were wrongfully watched over. We were just trying to shop, but immediately left after the inappropriate behavior displayed by staff members. It made us very uncomfortable. I don’t understand why we were targeted or what justified such behavior by staff members, but it’s honestly...

I walked around the store with my spouse and brother and found my items. I walked up to self check out and checked out. Immediately, the lady at the register came over and tried to "help us out" watching over the whole transaction. After we scanned, we tried to pull up the app to check coupons. While looking up coupons, the lady states "I'll bag it up for you" I declined but she still bagged it up and checked each item to make sure it was on the screen. While we paid, after she bagged, she went to the exit and started harassing people leaving with "did you find everything you were looking for?" She asked that as they were leaving, not at the register. She does this every single time. It made this experience extremely uncomfortable. She also didn't bother the older lady next to me who was also checking out. She was clearly targeting younger guests for prevention loss...
