Trader Joe's - trader joe's accused me of stealing

Employees at a 14th street Union Square New York City Trader Joe's store asked to check my bag and accused me of shoplifting today. I refused, they called the cops and an emt ambulance on me with their cell phones and told me to never come back to their store today even though I didn't steal anything. I finally showed them my bag when the cops arrived, they saw I did not steal anything and still accused me of shoplifting and told me never to come back to their store again. I am lucky to not be in a jail or psych ward after this incident and wonder if I have been a victim of discrimination. Is there an organization I can make a complaint to? Thank goodness there are other Trader Joe's nearby that I can go shopping at hopefully without a similar experience.

Your experience sounds horrible. So sorry.

I was living on 15th street when that store opened. The staff may be traumatized by having to deal with the snotty NYU students and other difficult characters, some who steal. It's funny that even though they banned you for life, you still patronize other Trader Joes. i live in Mexico now and would give my eye teeth for a Trader Joes.
