This has got to be a joke, if someone is suspected of shoplifting, they give a DESCRIPTION of the person. So they go to him, find out he wasn't the shoplifter, acknowledged it was a mistake and let him go. and just because he is "black", he is making a fuss and now it's national news? .. just because he's black? This whole thing is just anti yt and it's out of control and blatent now. Nothing happened in this story except to post a false narrative from blacks, when we all know they have the most privelege in this country... and the replies in this video are from bots.

@alycewich4472 5 ай бұрын

Back in the 60's, when I was a teen, we had an independently owned high end department store where the only sales people I ever saw were grumpy old ladies. I'm sure the company trained them to target young people. Since our high school was downtown, a few blocks from this store, we would sometimes go in browsing the merchandise. It was so frustrating when you needed help from a saleslady to not be able to find one, even though occasionally you could see them peeking from behind something to make sure you weren't shoplifting. So the ONLY time I went in to that store was if I couldn't find it anywhere else. That was the first and last time I ever saw a young woman working there, probably in her 20's. She greeted me and asked me what she could help me find. I got superb service from her. As I left, I wondered why they didn't have any other sales people like her. I never saw her again, but that was probably close to the last time I entered that store. As far as I'm concerned there are 2 reasons that I will refuse to purchase anything from a store/restaurant/service center. One, pretend like you don't know I'm there and 2 treating me like a criminal just because I don't fit the stereotypical idea of a good customer.

It's worse now than ever before. We can withhold our money from clothing stores, however, it is in food markets as well. If you think it was out of control before ramp it up 100% more. I was in an organic food store and I asked the security guard that looks like me "What are you looking at me for? and he said "I'm not looking at you," while looking straight at me. They have someone speaking to them in their ear piece. I am not playing with these people because I don't steal and I will let them know that I know that I'm being watched for no apparent reason.

I have worked for a high-end retailer for over 10 years. Since retailers like ours are located in mostly white suburban areas with an mostly white majority customer-base, it’s fair (and accurate) to say that almost all the shoplifting suspects I’ve seen have been white, mostly young and usually female, but very few have been non-white. There are very particular traits and behavior identifiers that are adhered to pretty rigidly by the Ops department and those who are inclined to potentially steal from a store are white and young. Sometimes, it’s just done for the sheer thrill of it.

Good point "do not to escalate the situation"! As a shop-a-holic I have gotten followed by security when I have merch draped over my arms and in my hands and am still shopping when I can barely move. They really get the jitters when you are anywhere near a door! I could be holding 10 hangers of clothes, accessories, shoes and a purse and not look like I am checking out soon so I get that I look like I am up to something. When I go through the register they are probably making sure I paid for the items they saw me handle. We have to face it, stores are robbed in the same manner we shop sans the payment part as criminals try to blend in as shoppers, so we all are going to appear to be suspect at times. However, I have never been pulled into some room or accused of wrongdoing so I have to ask, what makes them stop before they go too far with me? Are they are giving me a pass for being white, female or did I not escalate the situation by just doing my thing without being uncomfortable being watched? I am aware when I am watched, I am female and always on guard so I am watching too!

"My white acquaintance in the late 80s, who worked at SEARS in Coral Gables in the sporting goods department, instructed his black friends to enter the store in front so that the surveillance cameras would focus on us and draw attention away from them and others (whites)." It was SEARS' policy to follow every black customer who stepped inside the store, and the white employees took full advantage of this by stealing and having their "white" friends come in at a particular time. Staff from the women's undergarment and shoe departments, including a manager, were involved in these plots. LOL All we had to do was roam the store for twenty to thirty minutes, occupying the security cameras, while the robbers, aided by the staff, were stealing merchandise right under our noses. I tell the story because of the statute of limitations is up. LOL

In the 1960s there was an independently owned high end department store downtown. Every time I went into that store, either by myself or with friends, we were watched by the sales staff, who were grumpy old ladies. If we wanted to get some assistance from a sales lady, we would have to search to find them. However, sometimes they weren't quick enough to hid their spying on us. Since our high school was also downtown and we took the city bus to and from, it was much easier to shop after school let out. I hated that store, but it was the ONLY place in town to get things like the long ladies gloves that we all wore to the prom. I remember when I went into the store to purchase gloves, I was dreading dealing with one of the old lady spies. But much to my surprise, it was a young woman who couldn't have been much older than I was. She was very helpful, allowing me to try on different gloves to see which ones would work best with my prom dress. Bought them and left the store feeling like a hundred bucks! By the way, I'm white.
