Dollar Tree

Very poor treatment by shift manager. I'd never been addressed and treated as a tried criminal and trouble maker for walking in and asking to borrow the bathroom - and before taking a basket and shopping at that. Saturday I was addressed as if I were in need of being set straight and given some 'tough love'. I was talked down to, educated on how things were and would be, and offered permission to take my business elsewhere - All prior to making it past the checkout stands and into the main store area, and because I refused to leave my personal belongings (a backpack w/laptop, chargers, and library book, a transparent Biglots bag w/2 bed pillows, and a purse) up front, where I was told they'd not be taken responsibility for but had to be left if I wanted to use the store bathroom. 'No Merchandise' means, universally, no unpaid-for store merchandise - not personal belongings or merchandise bought and paid for from other businesses. This store may be walking distance from the house, but, as was suggested to me by the manager, I will take my business elsewhere.
