In November 2015, I went shopping at the Hermes store here in Vienna Austria. The store employee there at that night called one of their security guards to follow me around the store "assuming" I might steal something. I worn very casual clothing that evening but it is very expensive. I personally think to racial profile customers based on their skin color is extremely racist because all the other "white customers" didn't had a security guard followed them around. Why only me?
While I was browsing the Hermes boutique I asked the salesperson to see some accessory items and was immediately told that they were really expensive. She didn't showed me anything except criticize that these items were really expensive. Even insisted that there are other stores in the area that are less expensive for the kinds of items I wanted.
I began laughing hysterically in disgust at what I am experiencing at one of my most favorite designer stores in the world. I left the Hermes store and walked to the Versace store to buy upwards of over $10,000 in only men's accessories.
A few years later I came back to this boutique as I was living in Vienna. I told them of my VIP Hermes account and after they realized it is over several million dollars in purchases in a eight year period. Once they've found out I got a ultra VIP account, they immediately start treating me respectfully as a VIP offer champagne or wine.
When I first moved in Vienna, I've brought over my uncle he wanted to see how his nephew is living in Europe. In North Scottsdale Arizona he drives a half million dollar Rolls Royce Phantom and always flys private. I told him that if he comes to this Hermes store they're going to treat you like dirt because you're asian no matter how expensively you dress. After he visit this Hermes boutique location, he was pretty disgusted at the service. My uncle then left to Japan to continue his Hermes shopping.
This is probably one of the worst Hermes boutiques I have ever been to in the world. The services here is absolutely unprofessional and disgusting attitudes. read more
