As a regular customer of the 7-Eleven…
As a regular customer of the 7-Eleven on 3003 Columbia Pike Arlington va imagine my disappointment& shock when I was treated like a criminal because of the color of my skin. The same person who has always treated me different when I come to this 7-Eleven is the same one who called me a thief in front of the whole store and made me empty my pockets even though I didn't have anything in them and willing cooperated just to prove to her that I didn't steal anything. You would think after I proved her wrong she would apologize but instead of apologizing she told me I was in the back near the ATM for 20 minutes (which was a lie because I was in the store for less than 10 minutes). I asked her for her name and she hid her name tag under her hijab and started taunting me. It was absolutely disgusting how she treated me for absolutely no reason. I have never once had a issue with any of the other employees especially since I'm a regular they know me but for some reason this one specific lady every single time when I come in I'm treated like a thief even though I'm spending money there. I have given her the benefit of the doubt thinking that she is having a bad month but what she did today was absolutely unacceptable and is not how you treat customers especially when you have cameras and you can check and see or even call the police if you catch someone stealing but you don't try to embarrass a customer in front of the whole store for absolutely no reason other than the color of my skin. This was absolutely disgusting and I hope she at least gets told this type of behavior is not acceptable.
