Here’s a cleaned up and more structured version of your statement that keeps the emotion and seriousness, while making it clearer and stronger if you want to post it publicly, send it to corporate, or use it in a complaint:
This is the manager at Restaurant Depot in Homewood.
On this day, I went into the store like I normally do to shop for my restaurant. I grabbed my items and headed toward the register, but I needed to transfer money between accounts before paying. Since I could not get a signal inside the building, I stepped outside for a moment to finish the transaction.
As I was walking out, the woman seen later in the video suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs toward me in a way that honestly sounded like someone was being attacked. I turned around in complete shock and saw everyone staring at me. Confused and embarrassed, I said, “What are you yelling at?” because I genuinely could not understand why she was screaming with that level of aggression and volume.
Seconds later, this man — the manager — came outside threatening to call the police, es**rt me off the property, and ban me from the store without any explanation or actual incident taking place.
I have never been trespassed from anywhere in my life, let alone from a business where I have spent an enormous amount of money over the years for my restaurant operations. The entire situation was humiliating, degrading, and unnecessary.
In the video, you can even hear him say, “You’re already dead.” What does that even mean? That is not professional behavior from someone in a management position.
Over a year later, I attempted to return because using Instacart and alternative suppliers has significantly increased my food costs. When I recently tried to shop there again, the same manager stopped me once more from purchasing my items.
No customer should be treated this way without explanation or due process. Businesses cannot allow discriminatory or abusive behavior from management toward paying customers. This situation deserves accountability and transparency.
