Racial profiling at Clicks Ferndale on Republic

I went into the store with a full trolley from Checkers, there was no security person at the entrance so I just went in with the trolley as I just assumed it would be okay as there's no parcel counter there. While I was on my way to get a nail clipper an Indian lady whom I suspect to hold a managerial position in the shop called out the security lady. I tried to downplay the fact that she had been called for me but my instincts were right. The security lady came and followed me around, uncomfortably and obviously until I went to the till to pay for my nail clipper. I'm so angry at the profiling I received today. I feel I got this treatment because I'm black. A white person wouldn't have been subjected to this. I will not let this slide. I saw a similar complaint on Twitter regarding the same branch but clearly you haven't fixed the problem. It's either you're a ****** organisation or that Indian lady is and you do nothing about it because her behavior does not hurt your business.
