if
you’re
a
person
of
colour,
namely
black
and
you’re
wrongfully
accused
of
shoplifting
at
the
Devonshire
mall
Dollarama
please
share
your
experience.
The
racial
profiling
is
insane.
I
work
in
the
mall
and
my
coworker
who
is
black
has
been
AGGRESSIVELY
accused
of
stealing
twice,
without
provocation
on
her
lunch
break.
The
second
time
this
happened
the
employees
(2
women)
yelled
at
her
so
loudly
and
fought
with
her
so
relentlessly
from
inside
the
Dollarama
that
everyone
nearby
was
paying
attention
to
it.
They
made
such
a
big
scene
“catching
her”
that
the
employees
in
la
Senza
on
THE
OTHER
SIDE
OF
THE
HALLWAY
were
all
clustered
at
the
front
of
their
store
trying
to
see
what
was
going
on.
There
was
no
reason
for
them
to
suspect
her
of
this
in
the
first
place
and
yet
it’s
happened
twice
in
the
past
month,
because
she’s
black.
Both
times
she
had
to
spend
her
lunch
break
(during
the
busy
holiday
season)
in
tears
proving
to
security
that
she
had
not
in
fact
stollen
anything
and
fearing
for
the
security
of
her
own
job
in
the
mall.
And
once
she
had
“proven”
her
innocence
and
asked
to
speak
to
the
Dollarama
manager
they
told
her
she
was
unavailable.
I’m
white
and
I’ve
gone
in
to
this
store
100
times
over
and
this
has
never
happened
to
me
once.
It
was
so
unbelievably
targeted
that
an
employee
from
another
store
in
the
mall
who
happened
to
be
there
when
it
all
happened
came
to
our
store
and
stated
that
if
she
needed
anyone
to
speak
up
for
her
as
a
witness,
he’d
be
more
than
willing.
