Today is October 1st at around 8:52pm I finished shopping, I shop at Home Depot almost three times a week spending anywhere between 200 up to 1500 per trip. I’ve done this for the majority of the year, as I am doing many constructions at the moment. Unfortunately today I had a really close to terrible experience. I usually take My time shopping to not have to come back for the day, and I was with my group of 7 guys shopping. We had a constant flurry of workers asking us if we needed help, until the point where it was harassment. At one point nick, whilst I was in the cleaning aisle looking for degreaser comes up to me and asks me what am I looking for or what am I stealing. Unfortunately this as someone that has no necessity to steal nor take from others finds this not only offensive but demeaning. We spent a total of around 600 today, but if I can get reached out I can prove the amount I have spent at Home Depot this whole year. I have been loyal to Home Depot since I started construction for over a decade and I’ve never been so discriminated against in my life, I didn’t find it necessary for three police vehicles to show up for a couple guys that are just shopping and paying for their items, as well as having a total of 7 Home Depot workers waiting at the door. Too whomever this corresponds to I hope there is some reaching out. Thank you to officer Oviatt of the Martinez PD for not even hesitating on saying we did nothing wrong.
