Dollar General

I do a lot of shopping at the Dollar General.. and up until yesterday I had no complaints. I ride my bike or walk most everywhere, so I carry a back pack to accommodate my travelling needs. While stopping in to pick something up briefly, I was asked to put my backpack up front at the register. I was told there has been things going on there. Of course my being polite jumped in and I agreed. Though I had already grabbed what I wanted to buy. Upon checking out I was again told to leave my backpack... I stated I was done. Then I realized how wrong the situation was. It was not any concern of mine what was or was not happening there. And furthermore I could not help but feel targeted. I asked if the lady asked people with purses to leave them up front. She was dumb founded....of course not. I am highly upset about this and am pushing the issue as far as I need to. The business is much needed and a fine help. The people there do not know how to go about being open minded and need to watch their misconduct.
