I called 401-254-2525, talked to Mike. I asked for the name of the cashier, the assault of the cashier grabbing hold of my wrist, preventing me from moving my arm, then as he had a hard hold of my wrist; he then took my key from my hand. Mike told me, "I cannot give you a name," he then mentioned, "loss protection viewed the tape's, they saw nothing of the incidents." My friends and family cannot believe that a cashier form stop and shop would just grab hold of a customer like that; then take the keys out of the customers hand. On top of all this, my card is flagged. Every time I shop using the hand scanner they check all my bags and rescan it all. I have never stolen from a store in my life!! I feel like a thief each time I go shopping! The cashier grabs hold of my wrist because I was flagged? It’s unfair that the cams saw nothing, or is that a cover up. This has left such an impact on me, I have not been the same after that, since that; one of your companies cashier’s forced his hand onto my wrist and toke my key, right out of my hand that he griped so hard. This has never happen to me in all my life until May 20, 2009 around 9:45 pm. I was really mad at first; I was in shock, now I just cannot believe this happened to me. I am really afraid to shop at stop and shop, Stop and shop, you are injustice.
