Always loved The Avenue...up until today....so....disappointed....It bothers me to even address the issue here in this manner...Hadn't been out shopping for myself in a long
time....I stepped into the Ave and was like WOW...Yes!!!! My size, colorful, fashionable and affordable....I think I was profiled....I was followed from the time I walked in the store....to the time I left...SERIOUSLY!...At first I did try to rationalize it to me maybe just being a little bit to observational myself....but every time I looked up the associate was there, watching me, not offering to help or to make a sale....but REALLY following and watching me ...and mind you, I was deep into finding a blouse...so many to choose from....Had ended up ready to purchase 5 blouses...so when I would look up...the associate was there..not just there...but there watching me....I shook my head and said to myself,,,Nah....she's not following me...I continued to shop...made my way up to the front...to the front of the store(repeated purposely)...walk to the register ready to make a purchase....there was one person in front of me....happened to look up....and there the associate was....standing off to the side watching me....like she was confirming I was making a purchase...this time I said no....she is and was following me....decided I could make a purchase at a store like that....Not everyone walking threw that door is a shop lifter....I will not ever shop in that store !!!
STILL shaking my head....can't believe that happened to me. read more
