Original Comment On 30 July at approximately 2pm I, as an electric unicycle, writer walked into the store with my helmet or unicycle, and my backpack. I was immediately screamed at in unison by all of your employees about my backpack, and how I had to leave it at the front counter. all of what I have valuable was in the backpack, of course because I'm writing an electric unicycle, I asked the employee why is it necessary for me to leave my backpack is it because I am black and you think that I'm gonna steal some thing to which the employee responded? It is store policy I pause for a moment to think this employer was telling me that it is store policy for Black people to leave their backpacks , which is extremely problematic I left the backpack and I went to grab the two items that I needed. I actually needed more than two. I just could not remember at the time the rest of the items due to the initial horrible first encounter. All of this should be verifiable from video cameras, which I hope you have. I proceeded to look for the items that I could remember the entire time an employee stood at the beginning of each aisle and watched me making me feel like a criminal or a thief, I could only help but wonder if this is the way that I am going to be treated should I perform with expectation? Should I steal something so that they can feel better about their treatment of me and I can feel better about their treatment to me I did not steal anything nor they had that idea come to mind I only needed fuses and relay switches in line for check it out another confusing thing that happened. I was standing at the wrong end of the checkout line as another customer also got in line behind me, which we were told to switch places I did not want to think why (only negative thoughts would have come to mind) I just wanted to leave at this point, we switch places, and then I was screamed at by another employee standing by the door to use the self check out , if I had not wanted to leave this place faster then I wanted to leave at that moment there, but I need the items that I had in my hand. I went over to self check out a very confusing process and then I left immediately I question myself of should I ever go back to the store and if I do what reasons would I have to want to be treated this way by your employees. As an Air Force veteran I have a minimum expectation of civility, to give it and to receive it as a black male, I expect the worst because that has been what has been demonstrated to me consistently. As a consumer what should be my expectation?
