'I felt as if the second I stepped into that aisle, that it had already been determined I’m a potential thief, as well as anyone else who looks like me,' Jasmine Saunders said.
A woman in California said she was infuriated and saddened to find black beauty and hair products locked in a glass case at a pair of local Walmart stores.
"One poor girl was trying to look up products on her phone because you can’t even pick the products up to read directions, ingredients, et cetera," Saunders told NBC News."I could not believe the emotional response it elicited, I felt as if the second I stepped into that aisle, that it had already been determined I’m a potential thief, as well as anyone else who looks like me."
Saunders said that she followed the associate to the register, but left before buying anything because she just wanted to get out of the store. Grundy is represented by attorney Gloria Allred, who filed the lawsuit in California Superior Court in Riverside County. Allred told NBC News on Monday that Grundy's case is still pending in federal court.
