Family Dollar

I entered the Family Dollar at 1932 E Magnolia Avenue in Knoxville, TN., around 8:20 pm on November 18, 2021. I was under the impression that the didn't close until 10:00 pm. I was looking at the trash bags for about 5 minutes and the employee came and stood beside me. She stood there for a minute and then walked off. I then went to pick up some tape and proceeded to the register. I looked up and she was right behind me. I told her that she didn't have to follow me, I have money. She started talking real smart and I told her to cool out. Another young lady walked in and the male employee said you have one minute. She said what if I need two. He got mad and snapped. He then apologized, came from around the register and hugged her. He went back around and proceeded to ring the other person in front of me. The lady behind said dang you hollering. at me, talking to the male. The lady employee thought that it was me and went off on me. I kept it together because I needed the trash bags and tape. I swiped my credit card and grabbed the bag. Not thinking that my card declined. The male employee grabbed me and told me to come back. I went back to swipe again and it declined again. The female employee snatched the bag and told me to leave. I asked to try again and let me call the card, she said no. She began yelling and screaming. She picked up the broom and kept pointing it at me. She started hitting the hand sanitizer dispenser and cracked it open which made the piece pop off hitting my leg. She banged on the metal detector and kept yelling to the top of her lungs. The male employee came snd pushed me out the front door. She called the police and I waited for them. They took the police report and I will be picking it up tomorrow. My telephone number is [protected].
