Discrimination by staff for using EBT benefits

1

4-17-21 I was forced to bag my own groceries into my own cart while 3 employees stood around me and watched. Tammy, Gail T and another girl stood chatting while I did there Job for them. They purposely did it to me alone because as me and my brother walked away they walked away and went back to their stations. Tammy started bagging the next customers bags, Gail went to her station. The other woman went to bagging other customers groceries and putting them in the cart. I spoke to the manager Dulton. He said he spoke to the women but I feel he did not take my complaint seriously. He told me to just start off fresh with those employees and move on. They treated me like a second class citizen by refusing to acknowledge my existence. Refusing to do their jobs by placing my groceries into the cart. And than leaving their conversation as soon as I walked away. Tammy also did a previous act of discrimination on me on 4-13-21 by pulling my water bottles my brother already paid for away from me. Tried making me grab them by reaching over to the counter but instead I went into her station and grabbed them like a human not an animal. Like I think she wanted me to do. It is on video. I know because the manager Dalton pulled it for me. He did not deny seeing that act on tape. He just said he would talk to the employee tammy about her actions of forcing a customer to go around and grab their water that was being held from them after paying. He also told me to just start fresh, basically forget about the incident. Tammy and Gail T outright discriminated against me. Treated like garbage and I was told to just move on by the manager. That is unacceptable. I am seeking answers and actions brought upon the two employees for making me do their job for them. And an understanding in why your manager of that store told me to just forget about the incident. The staff in the branch has also made discriminative statements about people using EBT benefits. Example being one worker saying " I always make the food stamp people put their own soda cans into the basket. They can work they just don't want to.So i make them put their own cans in the basket " That action is something I have seen and have done to me in the past. But this incident was too much. You don't treat people differently in America for having to use assistance in hard times.
