Stop & Shop review: Store’s security guard... One in particular.

My day off, running errands, I enter store #2586 @625 atlantic ave in brooklyn, ny. Approximately 1:45 pm wed 8/12/20 with 2 small-med shopping bags on my wrist. Male security guard who appears to be of indian descent standing near produce, I already get "the look" because I have shopping bags that can potentially be used to maybe shoplift. I hate that uncomfortable feeling that's a regular occurrence in stores, smh. Anyway, he did assist me with getting a store shopping cart...

But, as I enter the area with the self checkout registers, which is at the other end of the store, I see this same security guard now a few feet away from me, leaning over seemingly observing my checkout. Is stop & shop serious?! I do not appreciate this uncomfortableness! I was gonna say something, but I chose to just pack my things & continue to my next destination. Unless one is seen doing something questionable, there's no reason for anyone to be made to feel like they're doing anything wrong, before they're actually doing something! I was pretty much in & out. My checkout time was 2:11 pm... The manager may remember me, he was near the front as well in the produce section conversing w/another employee & I asked him if they had mint leaves. Though, i'm not in that store often, as of lately, i've been shopping in that location since it was previously pathmark, since over 20 years ago. But yet, same building, i've been made to feel like I don't belong.

Many years ago i've worked retail & i've worked as a security guard. One can be observant without having to prove that they're being an "exceptional" top flight security guard by following "particular" customers around!
