I agree with Tom, but if you do that now you are giving the store advanced warning. There is a first step. What I would do first is to find an African-American private investigator and tell him what happened. Then let him get a female with a LARGE bag of some kind. I would assume an investigator would have the needed recording equipment, etc. They need to go into the store when this individual is present and hopefully the fun will begin. Once you have it on tape, then you go to the store -AND- the media. One other thought - once you get the evidence, take it to the Afican-American clergy in your area. Let the word get out! I'm sorry I can't do more personally. I wish you only the best of luck in this matter.

You did the right thing by leaving. I cannot bellieve how incredibly stupid (store manager) people can be. For some peace of mind I would send a complaint, you can make in anonymous if you want, to Family Dollar Store. Here is the website to contact them: http://www.familydollar.com/contact.aspx I am not African-American but if I saw that happen to someone I would have walked out over such outrageous treatment.

I would talk to someone about seeing if you have a racial discrimination lawsuit against them.
