Are some of the staff at the Downtown Macy's prejudice, racist, sexist, ageist or classist or do they just not give a crap about good customer service? Being a Black, female who appears as someone in their early 20s and is normally wearing converse shoes and a ratty Jansport backpack it can be a challenge to discern on which level you are being discriminated against.
I am in no way exaggerating my treatment here at this Macy. I have literally walked up to an employee who looks at me and then walks away from the service counter. I have waited patiently at a service counter for over ten minutes while people who are approached after me get service .
You may ask, hey why not just speak up and say, " I was waiting here can you please help me?" No matter how politely you ask that question the color of my skin will surely convey it as a hostile statement.
I WILL NO LONGER BE SPENDING ANOTHER DAMN DOLLAR OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY HERE. My boyfriend always gets me a Macy's gift card for special occasions but I have put an end to that this year.
Macy employees have also disrespected my mother and my sister. They asked a clerk about a particular garment they were interested in to which he replied, "Oh that's too pricey."
The racism that persist in retail stores is so annoying, Macy's you've made my shitlist.
p.s The Arcade Bakery also burned my tuna melt lol.
