Dollar General - discrimination

I bought my daughter a ed hardy stylish carry bag for her sweet 16 birthday in july and every since I bought her the bag she been carrying it everywhere she go so on aug. 7th after she got off work from her job she went to dollar general store with her stepmom and as soon as she walked into the store the manager on duty noticed her bag and picked up the phone and called the cashier at the register and had the cashier to stop my daughter and tell her to put her bag/purse on the floor next to the register until she got done shopping and told my daughter that they dont like for people to walk around their store with big bags or big purses so they automatically assume that my daughter was there to steal, so 2 days later I went to the store myself to talk to the store manager about the incident and all she could say to me is 'sorry' they didn't seem concerned about issue plus it's not even a store policy for what they did to my daughter and they didn't seem to care that me and my daughter was upset customers on how she was treated and we feel that we was violated of our civil rights and discriminated against and the cashier actually followed me outside after I left and told me that they dont do all the customers like that so that really made me feel that it was some type of discrimination so im advising anyone who see this post not to shop there because you might get treated like a criminal when your clearly a honest citizen.

If some of yall cant understand where the discrimination come in at then maybe you guys dont realize when yall are being treated unfairly and the discrimination for the impaired is, JUST BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WALKED IN THE STORE WITH A BIG BAG THEY ASSUMED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO STEAL THEIR MERCHANDISE, DUH! and she just got paid 2 days before that so she have money to spend and even if she didnt my child is not a theif, if she need anything thats what im here for i work hard for everything i got, wont, or need. AND also my daughter and her stepmom are honest people "MauiAl49" plus why risk going to jail on stealing there, when everything cost $1.00 "CLEARLY".

Very similar situation in my case: after hearing my accent, the clerk immediately asked me to put a small shoulder bag I was holding by the register. At the same time there were a few women in the store, with even bigger bags walking around. I had to call DG corporation and report it.

Don't blame the manger he or she ( I could finish reading because of the text) for asking your little girl too put the purse near the cashier, the store proably got robbed recently or had items stolen from employees, etc.

@ Gino - Yeah, most likely not... you have a point. @Zachary, I almost believe you except I have met mothers like this who are so on the "everyone is discriminating against me" band wagon that them, nor their children or family can do no wrong. Plus the praying then wishing death on people... really pushed my button there. Can I still wish to send this letter to her family, church and the ex? :)

Whoops, just read this response

"Yeah, I do pray for you. People on this site seem to have anger issues. Including these people, MauiAl49, GoldOpals Opals, jbfirebird and Trevor is now a proud father a baby boy . Trevor, I hope your baby dies from SIDS. You obviously have anger issues so if your baby boy dies of SIDS at least he does not have to worry about being shaken to ###ness. Do you beat your wife. I bet you do. Aamd with you Manial49. You all seem to have anger issues. I admit when my daughter was younger she did steal from Dollar General, but that was probably under the influence of her father, though he claimed he punished her. So because she stole before they are discriminating against her. She has learned her lesson now. I hope all of you die a horrible painful death, along with the dollar store employees. They called the cops on me when I wanted to talk about my daughter who is being discriminated against. f*** you all.t"

Well honey, NO WONDER they called her out. I don't care if she only stole once and learned her lesson. She's proven she has no qualms about it and MIGHT do it again!

I love how you say you will "pray" for everything then claim you wish death on dollar store employees along with hoping someones child dies. How Christian of you. This is why, while i believe in a god, I don't call myself anything like a Christian, I don't want to be lumped in the same group as someone like you. A lunatic.

I so wish I was more prevalent in computers, i would send your response to every dollar store, your church, your family and also to the cops. I bet they called the cops because you threatened them. Just because you are behind a keyboard doesn't mean you cannot be charged.

you need therapy.

I live in a town where shoplifting is rampant, there are some gas stations here that not only do you have to leave your bag in the corner, but also only a certain number of people are allowed in the store at a time... regardless of color, race or creed.

Most of our dollar and clothing stores have explicit signs on the door asking you to leave your bag with the cashier, regardless of size. Because of this I usually take my card and my Id and throw my bag in the trunk when I know im going out shopping. This stops me from being stopped and I can do my shopping in peace.

This is not a discrimination issue, unless you want to pull "big bags" into that category ( and if that's the case you need to be institutionalized) People need to stop pulling the race/discrimination card. It's that irrational thinking from any community that is keeping you down. You are a proud woman, be proud and be glad to be you. Didn't the African American community ask to have equal rights? Well, getting your bag checked and/or kept at the register or your receipt checked at the door is something EVERYONE puts up with. Welcome to Equal Rights.

Yeah she sent the same message to me about being a junkie. I think she meant alcohol foxfyre? The funny thing is some of her messages were sent from the original account and others from the second account.

I have been told to leave my bag at the register a few times as well... I happen to be Asian and I don't consider it discrimination against me.

OP you are a ###ic troll. You keep on contradicting yourself, and have made some extremely rude remarks to posters both publicly and through messages. YOU are the one who is being discriminatory; making false assumptions. ### ### ### :D
