and "Was I supposed to check them all? Is that cop here for me?"

She tried to play it off, but I was like "Damn, is it illegal for me to shop or what?"

thats messed up. im almost certain that if someone was going to steal something, they wouldnt break into a fitting room to try it on lol. i getlooks because i always seem to go shopping when i look super homeless. ill go after playing basketball or football and im all dirty and im looking at expensivestuff.

i've been asked if i was going to steal

also, in a gas station, there was a robbery down the street and the guy asked me if i did it. cop comes in togive the gas station idiot the description (was a white guy) and he's like, you sure you didn't do it? i'm mexican, far from light skinned.

F outta here. it shouldn't matter how you are dressed. No one should be following someone around a store just to "check up on them"

Please enlighten me...

I'd like to know how not to look like a shoplifter w/o changing my skin color.

Seriously.


Don't wear baggy clothes, look around like you're going to do something, come in with empty bags, keep leaving and coming back to the samearea, etc. These are all signs of suspicion. I'm not saying everyone is like this, but going by these things I have gotten quite a few shoplifters

 

[cucumbercool]

People stopped following me but it may be because of how I carry myself. Also if they ask if you need help be polite "no thank you" or "thankyou but I'm fine". I get left alone

 

[jthagreat]

When you look like money (as i do) they're more afraid you gonna buy the store...






lol sorry im bored at work.

It doesn't bother me that much anymore, because I'm not a thief.

Last week I was in Macy's buying some RL Polos, and some broad came in my space lookin' like she about to wet her pants, and gave me a fullintroduction etc. I simply cut her off before she finished, and said in a cool tone "No thank you".

I do get anoyyed, when you have to tell the employee more than once, that you don't need help.

I reply with a " No thank you for the secondtime".

 

[l silky johnston l]

I am white and live in the midwest and even I get followed around by employees or get a weird look when I walk out of the store without buying something...getused to it because it happens to a lot of people not just minorities or people in baggy clothes.

 

[nyzmagician]

It does get annoying but I don't sweat it because I know I'm not doing anything illegal.

 

[arrjae]

for me its actually APPRECIATED!

i like to play around w/ them...

 

[de phx jose]

It's cuz you're BLACK! na i'm just playing.
It's due to the fact that maybe people who share resemblance with you steal at that location too often to not provoke prejudice

 

[miketysonthekiller]

I dislike it a lot too. I don't dress suspicious or anything and I don't look suspicious either, but this lady was checking up on me every time I triedsomething on. I mean, how the %%#+ am I supposed to jack some jeans when I'm wearing bball shorts?

 

[de phx jose]

and yea it IS a bad idea if they ask you "You need any help?" and you respond "WT* you want!"

 

[sputnik]

start at 1:00 lol

 

[arrjae]

^ this is the 1st thing that cam to my mind...

 

[oh you mad]
