Dollarama 1- Student-Policy Accused of being Discriminatory

In a downtown Toronto Dollarama store's policy is to allow only one student in the store at a time. This policy is not sitting well with nearby high school students who stop by at lunch to pick up a treat. The Dollarama says that they enforced the policy to prevent stealing, as they believe that the more students in their store the higher chance of theft. To enforce their policy the store has hired two security guards, while other customers walk in and out without being stopped. James, a student at Central Technical School says "Everybody's not stealing, we walk in and buy and our stuff. Despite what James says a nearby store owner reports having the same issue with theft, so she has brought her daughter in to help her. Soo Yoo (Dollorama's neighboring store owner) said that she tried telling the students to come in groups but they seemed to just ignore her. Kate Sellar, human rights lawyer, says that Dollarama's actions count as discrimination. She says that Dollarama has to provide equal rights to all of its customers.

Personally I agree with Kate Sellar, the human rights lawyer. It does seem like the Dollarama is being seclusive and discriminatory. I believe that Dollarama should try and find better ways in making sure that the school kids don't steal, for instance installing more security cameras. Or maybe the Dollarama should just have more staff on duty at lunch periods to make sure that the kids aren't stealing. That could be completely manageable, as the kids would only be coming to Dollarama during their lunch break.
