 Dollarama's
1-student-in-store policy called discriminatory -
Loss Prevention Policy - To Stop Shoplifting A
downtown Toronto
Dollarama store's policy to only allow one student in at a time to
prevent
stealing isn't sitting well with local high school students who pop by
the shop
for a treat on their lunch hour. The Dollarama, located in Toronto's
Annex
neighbourhood near Bloor Street West and Bathurst Street, only permits one
high
school student to enter at a time. Two hired security guards enforce the
policy,
while other customers walk in and out without being stopped. Human rights
lawyer
Kate Sellar says Dollarama's actions count as discrimination. But
Dollarama says
the large-group policy is in place at all of its stores. At the Annex
location,
high school students happen to be the ones coming in large groups because of
the
store's proximity to schools with big student populations.

asking all pharmacists and store owners to make sure all medication is
locked
up, especially narcotics which have been left out for next-day delivery,”

“These medications are sought after by these vandals and become easy targets
when not secured. (Source
