Being treated like a ********- Dischem (Mall of the North)

on the 17th of January 2018, me and my partner were in Polokwane Mall of the north to do last minte shopping. the last shop we entered was Dischem. Because has a vast variety of items to choose from and most of them nearly identical we took about an hour shopping. I was going aisle to asile to figure out which items I needed and she did the same, to make sure noting was forgotten. As i was walking past a room in the store which i can only conclude was a security/CCTV office, A large, light-skinned male employee whom wears prescription glasses, gave both me and my partner a stare. A cold stare that really made me feel uncomfortable thinking i had something on my face. I asked my partner if i did have something on my face after explaining what just happened and she said she experienced the same stare from the same person. While proceeding in the line towards the cashiers, i noticed a similar stare from a lady at the perfume kiosk but just briefly.

I do not know if me and my partner were being racially profiled but that service is enough to make buying customers feel very uncomfortable. after spending nearly R1000 on items we needed at dischem, I would not wish he same treatment for anyone else to happen to them.
