My partner and I were checking out leather jackets because we’ve wanted to match for a while. The owner just assumed we were talking about the prices being high and interjected our private conversation. An extremely rude and condescending tone along the lines of “Yeah so this isn’t a thrift store, so you can’t expect to find cheap items here” and just went on and on. It was a humiliating interaction in a store with other people- and unprovoked since we didn’t bother anyone and were having a quiet conversation in another language. We had barely stepped foot into the store, mind you. She was already on the defence and I wonder why. I’ve seen another couple declare they’d been profiled by this owner, and made fun of their weight. I think the owner should mind her own business, and be kind to the customers that walk in there. We are young and non-white, yes. But we have plenty of money to spend on quality items. Your store and attitude…lacks quality. Distasteful.
