Best dollar store in Culpeper, Virginia (VA) 2024

My husband walks wherever he goes in town. He works long hard hours to provide for his family & is one of the most honest men I've known. The other day he mentioned to me he didn't like how you can't carry your bookbag with you and must leave it up front, but always leaves it. He was going to do a little grocery shopping. As soon as he walked in, a shorter, stocky brunette announces to him he must leave his bookbag. He wasn't sure where to leave it where it would be safe so he put it on the counter at the register. As he walked up and down the isles, he noticed the same clerk following him around. He felt very uneasy, like he was being profiled as a theif because his skin wasn't Caucasian. Once done, he returned to the counter with everything he put in his cart & noticed that his bag had been moved against the window behind the register. He had to ask for it back. Then he wondered if any of the clerks went through it... Any time I have ever walked into that store with my small bookbag purse, she- nor anyone at that store- has EVER asked me to leave my bag at the counter. My descent is Caucasian. You can see my disdain with this store now. They have left a bitter taste in our mouths. I wanted a world for my kids where they wouldn't be stereotyped for the color of their skin, but as it seems, tearing down statues, removing offensive flags and all the like, has done nothing to change people on the inside. Of course I knew it wouldn't, but I hope all of you naive Caucasians will think twice before judging someone based on skin color. Take a moment to talk to a stranger and find out their story-i guarantee its nothing like the person you judged. ~Amy
