Still can't believe I was followed around the store!
My mom and I went in to buy a new purse. I was so excited that my mom found something she liked, but soon after she abruptly said let's go. I asked her why and she said the man was following us around the store. He was always a couple of steps behind us and never offered any help.
This is unacceptable because we went to the other boutiques in the mall and were never followed. We were shown bags and offered help instead. We weren't dressed "bummy" and I was carrying a designer bag so I'm not sure what his significant problem was.
Oh that's right I'm still a black woman looking at very expensive bags. Apparently that warranted the stalker treatment from this one ignorant associate.
The more I thought about it the madder I got so I called the next day to complain to Amanda the store manager. She didn't seem very apologetic. She asked me to describe the associate but I genuinely didn't remember too much about him. She questioned me like I was in the wrong.
I'm trying to buy some of your merchandise, you don't follow me around and give me an inquisition when I follow up with a complaint.
I will be buying my purse in Los Angeles where surprisingly I''m never treated like a common criminal!
