My husband and I just had a very uncomfortable, insulting experience here today. I was trying on clothes in the dressing room upstairs and I asked my husband to come in to zip me up. The woman who worked there saw him come in and smiled, implicitly acknowledging that he was there to help me. A couple minutes later, the same woman knocked on the door saying "hey guys I'm so sorry um my manager doesn't um want um your husband in here because there's a lot of ladies in here..." We were completely caught off guard and my husband felt embarrassed and shamed. There seems to be a discrepancy in your employee expectations. Are they supposed to obey irrational customer requests (disguised fear which actually stems from white entitlement), or stand up against injustice? It seems as though Dillard's values a non-confrontational environment over challenging disrespect toward someone who did nothing wrong but help his wife. It's pretty on brand for a high end department store though. Like why the hell would my husband want to creep on some wrinkly old white women..? Whatever your policy is on this, be consistent so that my husband doesn't have to feel like he doesn't belong. The employee could've told my husband at the door that there are no men allowed in the dressing room. (Which also doesn't make sense cuz what if he had stuff to try on too...hmm...the math ain't mathing). But she didn't tell him because there is no policy saying he can't be there. Y'all crack under pressure and it's sad. When I passed the register where the manager likely was, she looked at me smugly as if she won. She looked like a fake blonde bimbo. I do wonder if this incident also has to do with the fact that my husband is Mexican...it's giving white fragility. It's giving white trash. If these women feel uncomfortable with a man in their presence, then they should go to a dressing room that says "women only"...or better yet, working with a therapist on their indoctrination. How dare they feel entitled to kick out my husband. Am I in a simulation? It relates to larger social justice issues of "we don't want a trans woman in our restroom because our brains are too small to comprehend gender constructs and so we just judge instead cuz it's easier". But at the same time, they worship right-wing men who sexually abuse women...aren't those the folk they should be targeting? As a white woman, I am disgusted in my species. I come from the same place they do, and I made it out to the other side cuz I'm smart and cool. Ok, recap: so those lame entitled white women are in the wrong. Your employees are also in the wrong for enabling their behavior. Cuz guess what? These women aren't used to getting told no, and just like a surly spoiled teenager, they will continue to breed injustice. Literally and figuratively. But why would you care you're just trying to sell white lady clothes, it's not your job to stand up for what's right. (: Ok, good job reader you made it to the end of my rant! I hope you learned something new and let's work together to make Stockton's Dillard's a little less ignorant!!!!!! Woke white women UNITE!!! read more
