Luis opened up about an unfortunate occurrence which left him and a friend shaken. He accuses a black security guard at Clicks of racial profiling and said this happened in full view of other people. He said he was left humiliated as people were recording on their cell phones.
THIS HAS TO STOP! Is it RACIAL PROFILING if it’s coming from a fellow black man? Lowkey still shaken, won’t lie.Probably not the only one this has happened to. Felt humiliated in full view of the public . Also,people were recording so it’s bound to come out

There’s no notice upon entry which suggests bags must be left at the door !

Anyways , we walk in . The guard follows us around the aisles the entire time we are at CLICKS .
Jerry pays, as we walk out he starts shouting “let me search your bags”
We are literally walking away and the gent is following us shouting. So embarrassing because now everyone in the mall is watching us being chased . It was like we stole something

I tell Jerry we should just go see the manager at this point because it’s too much
We call the manager and tell him the ordeal .

We tell them you guys are only insisting on searching our bags . Why doesn’t this rule apply to everyone ?
Only then does the guard now all of sudden start asking to search people’s bags
Everyone refuses by the way !
The kicker is ….. the guard only starts to ask to check black people’s bags .

Everyone still refuse !
All the white and colored patrons walk in and out freely without a single peep ! 👀
Anyways , I had a terrible experience. CLICKS will be hearing from our lawyers .

It was embarrassing, traumatizing and belittling !
I hope other people don’t ever experience this.
