Went into Kohl's today with my husband to buy each other an anniversary present. Looked at rings and clothing. While I was in the jewelry section looking at the jewelry on display, a sales lady with glasses, looked about 20 or 30 years of age, kept following myself and my husband. The sales lady looked as if she worked in the beauty department. My husband went up to her and asked her for help, she responded back. "Do not touch anything. I cannot help you. You are scaring the white customers.". My husband was in shock. Both my husband and I are African-American. How is it possible she was able to say this to a customer?! We then left the jewelry section and decided to pay for the clothing and leave the store. Upon leaving the store, some crazy white man with tattoos all over his arms wearing baggy street clothes, was yelling at us. He told us that we stole items, my husband pulled out the receipt to show him and pulled the dress out that was PAID for and he refused to believe us. He told us that black n*ggers were not allowed in the store, to go back to our cotton field. He yanked me my the arm and I asked him to please let go, he then pulled a gun out from his pants, said if we did not go into the store with him, he would shoot us before. Forcefully, he grabbed both of us by our arms and pulled us into a small back room. He laughed at us, called the police, repeatedly called us the n*gger word all in front of the manager. We tried to show the manager (a much older lady, not friendly at all) our receipt and she laughed at us and tore it up. The cops arrived and handcuffed us and searched us. Sadly, since the manager tore up our receipt, we could not show proof. We kept asking them to look up the purchase with our Kohl's credit card. They denied we even had an account. My husband said to call up Kohl's credit card company and they would have proof. The guy with the tattoos, who we now assumed with loss prevention, laughed at us more, calling us the N word again, saying how black colored people are liars, not welcome in the store and we all deserve to be dead. The manager just laughed. The loss prevention person, did a high-five with another co-worker. Sadly, we got a summons and were ordered to stay out of this store. Both my husband now face a shop lifting charge. Very frustrated that this happened and we will be suing Kohl's. Made a call to corporate and they did apologize and said they would contact someone higher up on the chain about this. My husband and I are shocked, that we have to be treated as criminals just because of our color. We didn't think there was so many racist people working at Kohl's. After being a valid long time customer with a credit card for 8 years, this is how you guys treat your customers?!!!! Instead of buying a ring from Kohl's, we decided to buy a beautiful ring from Kay Jewelers inside the mall. NEVER AGAIN will Kohl's get our service! Kohl's, you should be ashamed of yourself. I laugh at Kohl's because they have a "hands-off" policy, yet this guy, who had a gun stuffed in his pants, was able to touch me and my husband! Do yourself a favor, stay out of this store if you are a person of color or from another country! They target people of color just to get their company to reach goals. Kohl's you suck. read more
