If I could give this particular store a negative star rating I would. They get no star from me, although I have to give it one to post this review. I was forced to do that! I never thought it would come to the fact that I would have to put Aldi's on a no-shopping store list. On May 24th 2021 Aldi's got on my list. Reason being is that I was accused by store management of shoplifting. And after probing and asking questions myself after the incident I was accused of shoplifting because of mistaken identification, profiling me because I was a black woman with a backpack, defaming my character because you embarrassed me in front of the entire store and did not kindly, politely, and professionally take me in the back to resolve the matter without humiliating me in public display in front of the entire store. Also, in which I even found out from management, that the person who stopped me did not follow their protocol. Not to mention you traumatized me to the point that I will not and hesitate carrying backpacks or any large purses into stores. I have emotional distress in cringing at the fact that if I had not offered to let you look in my bag to vindicate myself from your accusations, that you would have called the police to resolve the matter and there is no telling how that outcome would have been if they were officers that came with the attitude or same spirit you were in when you stopped me that night! You're not just going to brush it under the rug like it was just an oops I made a mistake and we're going to resolve the issue internally with a slap on the hand, retraining, and offer me a gift card as if the incident was of no significance. Shame on you! It does matter to me! It means nothing when you use my nationality as an example, and a lot of times, most of the time erroneously, but when the table turns then it's of no significance. Shame on you!
