This is an exact copy of my letter to wal-mart

To Whom It May Concern:

Here I am at 1:26 in the morning and I still have 20.00 dollars in my pocket, would you like to know why? I'll tell you. I came to your store with the intention of purchasing a pillow for my dorm room. On the way to this department, my two friends and my boyfriend stopped at the purse section at my request because I was interested in purchasing a new bag. I will admit our actions were childish, however, they were completely harmless and we had no intentions of doing anything worthy of the condescending whims of lower management.

My boyfriend had tied a scarf around his head and was mimicking my friends grandmother when an associate approached us and said "Can I help you with anything?" so, naturally we responded "No", and with a sneer he said "There's cameras right above you". All four of us were extremely angered by the implication that we were shoplifting. I will admit that prancing my boyfriend around in a scarf was hardly adultlike behavior but I see no reason to imply theft.

The next issue I would like to discuss is that I feel a very real part of this incident is the fact that our ages range from 18 to 20. If we were four forty-somethings joking around in the middle of your store, I am sure we would not have been treated in such a rude way. Age Discrimination. Those two words are just as valid in legal jargon as any other hot button discrimination topics.

This incident took place at the Wal-Mart located in Niagara Falls. The exact address is as follows:
Wal-Mart
5555 Porter Road
Niagara Falls, NY 14305.

So here I am, now at 1:47 AM and I still have 20.00 in my pocket.

Yours Truly,
Erin Adkins
