UPDATE: Just called the manager to complain & I was told by Britney (sp?) that they offer customers the CHOICE of leaving their bag upfront OR carry it with them in the store. I told her that is definitely NOT what the employee (Carolina) offered me whatsoever. This store is completely incompetent.
========================================
Today I was told to "leave my bag at the front" by a young female named Carolina, even though I saw numerous other women with bags right in front of me and have carried mine before!! So just to clarify - I have to leave my personal belongings with a stranger because everyone ELSE steals??? That's what SECURITY CAMERAS & ANTI-THEFT DETECTORS ARE FOR, GENIUSES!! I even asked her if their security cameras were working to which she replied "yes". I then pointed out the OTHER many bags other women were carrying around me and I got NO response. What a smart gal...NOT. People have the RIGHT to carry personal shopping bags or purses with them if they wish!! They target people that look "suspicious" & I believe its because I was on the phone discussing my money situation as I was walking in so she went RIGHT for me within 10 seconds. GUESS WHAT! JUST BECAUSE I DISCUSS HOW BROKE I AM DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO STEAL! MOST stores (like albertsons) don't give a s--- if you have a bag since it actually makes things EASIER for the customer so they can do all their errands & shopping! But now that I have to deal with this bull---- on the REGULAR I'll be boycotting ALL stores that enforce such an unfair & RIDICULOUS POLICY!!!
