I went to this Stater Brothers upland location and usually have a decent experience and have been going here for 3years. I attend college and was given a $100 giftcard for the store and yesterday (9/24/21) I went to this store to use it and spent about $80. My school also gave me a bag of food for students. I get to the register the casheir sees my bag of food from my school and says next time I come to the store I ned to show someone what is in my bag that im bringing in so they know what is theres and what is not. I had a bag with individual items that they dont even sale that was sitting in the cart wide open for anyone to see. I said, no I do not. There are plenty of people in here with bags and they didnt show or tell anybody who works here what is in it and that they have cameras and if she thought I stole something to go and review them. She said I didnt say you stole anything. I said well you are bringing this up for a reason. She said no im not. I said then why did u bring it up then if theres no reason for you saying this to me? She said have a nice day. I left. I go back today (9/25/21), grab a candy bar and some cat litter bags. Im standing in line and two white managers walk up and one of them a white woman says you need to leave because yesterday you threatened my cashier. I said what? No I didnt. She said yes you did. I said what did I say? She said you know what you said and refused to tell me. Then finally, she said that I told the cashier I was gonna shoot her in her face. I said no I did not! She said just leave. I said no. The other manager said nothing the whole time. Then she said im calling the police. I turn around drop my items and walk out to leave. As I do, she says [censored]s. Smh. I couldnt believe my ears. I want this woman fired or some form of punishment. This is horrible. Now I have been degraded, lied on, had the police called on me, embarrassed and now have been banned from that store. I am a college student not some ignorant criminal. I would never tell someone I would shoot them in the face. Furthermore, why would I threaten a cashier and then proceed to stand outside the store for 15min and wait for a uber? That makes absolutely no sense. Check the cameras. This kind of situation is a prime example of white privilege. Where white authoritative figures think they can say and do what ever they want and degrade and harass people of color. When will this behavior and blunt racism stop?
Desired outcome: To not be treated like a criminal and banned from the store for no reason and for this manager to be dealt with in an appropriate and fair manner. Not looking for a refund or any monetary gain.
