This is a brief explanation of the discriminatory incident that I experienced with an unnamed employee. I will also be filing a formal complaint, with an official letter to be delivered to the Dollar General in Merlin, Oregon. I went to the Dollar General location in Merlin, Oregon at 9:40 pm. As I went to pay for my Items, my card was declined due to a chip malfunction. I left all 3 items that I had brought up, apologized for the inconvenience, and then went and grabbed another card and came back into pay 10 minutes later and the incident began at around 9:54 pm. When I walked into the store, the lady behind the cashier stepped out and immediately greeted me by saying "You were acting sketchy and I checked the cameras, your head was down." and "My card machine is messed up because of you." I asked her why I would come back to pay for my items if she believed I was guilty of something illegal, and explained that my chip malfunctioned and I left to grab another card. I then asked her if I was still able to shop and pay for my things. She said yes, but then stared me down the whole time I was waiting in line. I then asked for her manager's name and number, and she says she was not allowed to give that information out. Then when I asked when her manager was to come in next she replied, "I am the manager for the night." Fellow customers were talking to me and the ones closest to the employee in question were able to hear that she was racially profiling me and whispering offensive slurs about me, which I was not able to hear but others were. Other customers were defending me, and telling me that what she was doing was wrong. I was trying to remain calm while she publicly humiliated me for no reason and without any proof of any wrongdoing. I believe the fact that people were not on her side, that she began to lash out at me and I responded with sarcastic comments. Then she responds with if "If you keep talking like that you won't be able to shop here' I then told her I didn't want my business. and left to go to a different store. Before I left she said that I was 86ed from the business and was no longer allowed to shop there ever again.
