| - This is the last time I go to this location. I live in Seven Hills and refuse to go back after tonight. I walked in to buy cigarettes for my mom, and decided to buy some candy bars as well. I took my time because I was indecisive, and found myself walking the aisles a few times being unsure if I wanted ice cream, chips or candy. About 10 minutes passed and I went to check out, the lady (i'm assuming she is the owner, she is an indian lady) presumed to ask me, is this it for you? I said yes, and then she said "do you have anything anywhere else?" and this caught me off guard because what the heck does that mean? No I don't have anything anywhere else, it is all laid out in front of you lady. I said "are you accusing me of stealing something?" and she said "no no I kidding" but did not sound like she meant it to be a joke.
WTH? Is that you how talk to customers?? Profiling??
I proceeded to ask for the cigarettes I needed, handing over my I.D and credit card, which im pretty sure someone who would steal something wouldn't cough up their I.D with name and address on it? After she handed me the cigarettes she started to try to make jokes with me about how when she buys candy she buys a lot and not just a few bars like I did.
Theres plenty of gas stations in near distance to this one, I don't need to be profiled in a gas station by someone when I am a paying customer. I don't know if language barrier played a role in this, and maybe I just took what she was saying out of context, but I definitely didn't interpret it to be that way.
I will take my business elsewhere, too bad to, Im in that location at least a couple/few times a week to buy icees, cigarettes or snacks.
