Employee at high end bag store
im not usually the type of person to talk about these types of things but this one deeply upset me..
my boyfriend and me traveled to a city nearby since they have more malls and a variety of stores to visit, and after a good day of work we just decided to have a little outing and fun.
we decided to go into the high end bag store everybody knows (not sure if i can post the name due to the rules) at this known mall and there was two girls (employees) around our age:early 20s, one was mopping and the other one was standing there, and soon as we walked in there the one standing gave us the dirtiest up and down looks.
Now, me and my boyfriend make good money, we just don’t choose to spend in on super expensive clothes and what not all the time since our goals right now are somewhere else, but god forbid we walk into this store looking like normal people!
as we were walking around the store looking at the bags we were followed and watched from a rather short distance (i understand they want to make sure nobody steals) but i just felt very offended, even when i asked the employee questions about certain items she seemed like it was such an inconvenience!
-i don’t know, but as the manager or sales rep she is or whoever, if you work in a store, you want to make sales and keep loyal and happy customers, don’t you?
we were genuinely looking forward to get a little something (we can and why not) but certainly not now!
might have to just order online because it was a really unpleasant experience.
i just feel that we shouldn’t judge others, what good does it do to ourselves and others? none!
yes, we are making great money but if we choose to dress simple, is there something wrong with that nowadays?
i hope i am not overreacting or anything, i am just a more sensitive individual and this deeply upset me.
what do you think? has this happened to you?
