Vons review: Racial profiling at the Vons at 3rd and Vermont

To whom it may concern hopefully management, I have been a loyal customer at the Vons at 3rd and Vermont store consistently for the last four years since moving to LA. I shop twice or more times per week at this store. I spend 80% or more of my grocery budget at Vons. Recently I have noticed that I have become a subject of racial profiling while shopping. Once or twice maybe people being vigilant, but the fact it’s happening on a consistent basis is not acceptable. Other than my race and the color of my skin, why is it find that your employees and security workers tend to follow me. I have done an informal survey of other people of color who lives in my building about this issue, just to make sure I am not being sensitive.

They have also noted this increase scrutiny. I don’t think this is fair and balanced. I should not be made to feel this way. I understand we live in a racially charged society, but no one of any ethnic group should be targeted and made to feel uncomfortable while shopping for necessary necessities. seem to be targeting African American I understand that shoplifting has been highlighted in the news but that doesn't make a person of color a criminal by association. I am reaching out so that management will train their personnel better or change the culture that engender this kind of harassment. I am not sure what recourse is open to me, but I find this unacceptable and deeming. Please stop treating me like a criminal because of the color of my skin.

thank you,
