On Saturday, we went to a local grocery store. While we were there, we came across an employee stocking shelves with noise cancelling headphones on. We proceeded to walk around her.
While we were walking past a seaweed display, DS6 said, "Seaweed? Who eats that?" And I told him a lot of people do. He asked if it was healthy and I said it's healthier than some things.
It was then that the employee interjected herself "You'd better not be talking about my seaweed display, I just finished it!"
DS6 got shy and walked from beside the cart to right beside me and DH and I kind of chuckled it off and we kept walking. She then said:
"I'll shove some seaweed down your throat, boy."
A male employee immediately said, "Woah, hey!" And we walked to the next aisle and stopped. I think I was in shock.
I looked down at the cart and told DH we weren't buying a damned thing there and to take the kids out to the car. I walked to the register and told them what had happened. Though when I walked up, the one cashier said, what did she do now?, clearly talking about that employee.
I left my name and told them I expected a call from management as I was tempted to file a police report. She just randomly threatened a 6 year old.
When we got I the car - DS6 asked me, "Can we never go in there again?"
Saturday evening, I also emailed corporate.
I received an email from the owner today telling me that the employee was just attempting to joke with my son and hasn't had an issue the entire time she's worked there but she agreed it was inappropriate and offered me a $20 gift card.
What do I do here? That is clearly an insufficient response.
