              I was with my daughter to have an IV put in because her port was not working. She was told to come to building ****. This is our first visit. I had a pink pepper spray attached to my keyring. We were told that it couldn't come in the building. We asked if he could keep it until her appointment was over. The ***** male associate that works with Allied Universal said that we either had to take it back to the car or give it to him. We gave it to him. We got to customer service and discovered we were at the wrong building. We had to go move our vehicle. I asked for my pepperspray back. The same associate said no cause he had already destroyed it. I said, "You know you haven't destroyed it. You just want it cause it's cute." He said, "Sure you are right and there's nothing you can do about it!" I think his remark was so unprofessional." No, I shouldn't have said anything but I was representing me. He was representing Allied Universal. I went up to another male associate in imaging and asked how do I get in touch with head of this company. He replied he didn't know! That's just sad!!.

              My lady friend and I are long time walkers at the **********, which uses Allied. On Friday 11-8-24 we were told by some girl from the office, who was not even in uniform, we were not permitted in the mall till 9 AM. After years of coming here, we feel we were discriminated against as we are senior citizens. Security lets other walkers in to use the gym, young ladies in their 20's and 30's and they roam freely through the mall until their class begins, and nothing is ever said to them.
