The worst retail experience I have ever had in my life.
I went into the store with a sofa in mind and needed to look into the fabric combinations.
I went into the fabrics section, and was asked by the gentleman, Can I help you? I let the person know that I was just looking into fabrics.
Still looking into the fabrics, 5 minutes later I heard someone shout from across the store. Didn't know what he was saying because he was yelling across the store, but the same gentleman approached me and yelled put the fabrics onto the chair. So I asked him, should I put the ones I touch onto the chair or the one's I lift to look at. He said put anything I lift onto the chair. Thinking that he was going to sanitize them after. Obviously as per picture you are going to need to move the other fabrics aside to see the other fabrics since there are hundreds of them.
During this 15-20 minute tenure this man was hovering over the area the entire time. I thought he was just a bored salesperson because I was the one of the few customers in the store. I minded my own business the entire time trying to match the sofa and pillow fabrics.
Another 5 minutes pass and he comes back to ask me the same question arrogantly, can i help you, which could of been the third time he asked me. I repeated the same thing, no I am still looking at the fabrics, the same thing I told you before, not sure how difficult that is to understand.
He then proceeded to ask me to leave the store and this is private property. Accusing me of infecting the fabrics. Stating he didn't want me to touch the fabrics even though in the beginning he wanted me to put the one's I looked at aside. Funny thing is he took his mask off briefly twice while talking to me. I had to tell him to put it back on.
He mentioned briefly his name is Al and is the store owner.
Not sure what type of discrimination/harassments this is, possibly racism as I am Chinese Canadian.
I have videos as well that I plan to leak as this hatred should not be tolerated in our society. I would like to see Al (the owner) try to deny this since I have a video. read more
