Discriminatory security Procedures at Park Meadows Fruit and Veg city/ Food *****'s Market

On 2 November 2018 I went shopping at Park Meadows Fruit and Veg city/ food *****'s Market. The security guard singled me out and insisted on searching my shopping bag - I obliged to the request, presuming that this was normal however I then noticed that other shoppers were not being subjected to this harassment as she further requested to search my gym bag. I was running late for yoga and thought it would probably cost me less time to comply with her request than to refuse - I later learned how ********* this all was. After searching both my shopping and gym bag in the door way, she made the mortifying request to search my handbag. I was not going to let a civilian rummage through my intimate personal belongings so I asked her to please call her manager and explain why I was being publicly humiliated like this. She attempted to deceive me by summoning her male colleague. I was adamant that they call their manager who later came and concocted an intricate tale about them having received a tip off from a fellow shopper about me, when I asked them to play me security footage of me shopping to vindicate myself and substantiated the apology I felt they owed me they claimed that the staff member with access to the security footage was not available. I have made further phone calls to them to inquire about the availability of the footage as I insisted on a written apology for their public humiliating, condescending, ****** treatment. To this day(26 December 2018) they claim that they will contact me when they get access to the footage. I am both appalled and mortified.
