Nations Fresh Food Reviews

  • Feb 8, 2018

While at Nations Fresh Foods, in Jackson Square, 2 King Street West, Hamilton, Ontario, PH# 905-522-3501, on Wednesday, January 31st, at approximately 3:30 in the afternoon, I was looking for a cart, as the store is so large, I had decided to ask a male staff member where I could find the carts. I approached a cashiers stall and leaned against the metal railing, trying to get the clerks attention,, suddenly the clerk turned quickly towards me and he tried pushing me aside while I was asking him where they kept the shopping carts.

I don't think he understood English, as that was an adverse reaction on the staff members part, When he laid his hands on me and shoved me, I instinctively brushed his arms off of me with my right arm, he then pushed by me and went his way, I also turned away, took my glasses out of my pocket and went to go about my business.

I was looking at items on a shelf behind were this altercation took place, when I was tackled from behind. I did not know who tackled me into the shelf and then to the ground, losing my glasses, until he stood me up, and then identified himself as security. I was then guided roughly by the arm into a back room, where I was detained under a citizens arrest. There, there was talk of taking police action, but the security guard seemed concerned that if police became involved that the store clerk may in fact be the one getting charged.

At first the security guard claimed I struck the man, he then went out of the security room, when he came back, his story changed from I had struck the man, to the clerk had pushed me, and I had pushed back. I may have pushed back with my body, in the sense of keeping myself from falling and in the sense of removing his arms from me in a sweeping motion of my right arm, but I did not strike the man.

I am entering into my senior years and am a dialysisl patient, with a Catheter sticking out of my body, with one tube going into my jugular vein in my neck and one into the vein that goes to my heart. I have difficulty in breathing due to water retention in my lungs and am severely under weight, I was also feeling very ill and weak that day.

When the security guard had tackled me, he was exerting pressure on my chest and mid section, which caused severe stomach upset and caused me to vomit after being released by security out the back door and onto Bay Street. I am hardly in any shape to be of any trouble to anyone or to resist. I am now also experiencing back pain due to this.

Due to this altercation, I was banned from shopping there for a few days, although now I am reconsidering ever going there to shop again. I am hoping that this incident was captured on the stores video and that there may be any witnesses that may come forward.However, I do not know how to go about retaining a copy of the security video.

I would suggest that anyone interested in shopping there avoid asking for help from the store clerks, as I discovered many of the staff, are not versed in English communications, which can lead to misunderstandings and other possible repercussions.

I would like to know what my rights are in a situation like this and what actions I may take regarding this?
