I shopped in the Meijer Evergreen Park store this morning. I shop this store exclusively. I picked up a few things and went through the self check out. A woman watched me the whole time I was checking out my 10 items. There were a couple of people in front of me when leaving the store. The first was a man with two bags who had just left the self checkout. The alarm went off and they waved him through. Next was a woman with a cart full. The alarm went off and they waved her through. I started through and same thing, the alarm went off but since I'm white, I was told I needed to go over to a section with the two security guards! I told them that I will not do that. I will go to customer service where they can search me in front of everyone...not alone with them. I put my bags up on the customer service counter and told them I wanted a complete refund of my purchases. Of course they found I didn't steal anything and refunded my money. Why was I...the only old, white women treated differently? I will never, never shop Meijer again.
Desired outcome: An apology! I'm 65 years old and have never stolen anything in my life. One trip to your store and I'm a criminal!!! So sick of this.
