Re: Civil Rights Violated
Your civil rights were not violated. You are free to file a complaint with the store's LP and regular management. They may throw you a little something to go away.
Re: Civil Rights Violated
so perhaps it wasn't my "civil rights" that got violated,but its more than "filing a complaint", i was publicly humiliated! whats worse,my children were scared....isn't there a certain procedure to go by in that situation? i was wrongfully accused and didnt even get an apology
Re: Civil Rights Violated
Yes, there are procedures that LP personnel must follow. It sounds like in your case, they messed up. I don't have all the facts though. You will get an apology when you complain, that is pretty much guaranteed. I don't know WM procedures but the places I've worked LP, you were supposed to apologize after a bad stop.
The best thing for you to do is file a complaint.
Re: Civil Rights Violated
thank you so very much, how do i go about filing a complaint?
Re: Civil Rights Violated
Just call the store and ask to speak to the manager or you can go down to the store and do it as well.
