so... i was shopping today, and i went into a hip hop style shop. i won't say the name of it, but it was a chain of stores.
i saw a sale rack, and it said the following:
tops 4.99 regularly 39.99 and up, $9.99 regularly $64.99 and up
final clearance (or something like that)
so i fell in love with this top. i was like NO WAY... $10 for this CUTE top?? so i try it on and bring it to the register. the sales worker, by the way, has ignored me so far. i go up to the register and asked, "how much would this top end up being?" she looked at me like i was stupid, and then looked at the tag and said, "$44.99".
i said, "but it's redlined and the sign says $9.99..."
she said, "that's just telling you what the prices are going to be looking like."
i am a bargain hound, i know to always read the fine print. i did, and that shirt was supposed to be $9.99!!!! unless that shop is a scam to begin with. i don't know.
i felt that she didn't want to sell it to me because i was white, and made it out to be much more expensive than what it was. if she had been nice, i would have bought it anyway. but i didn't give her that satisfaction. i politely said i didn't want it and left the store. my boyfriend tried to console me on the way out, and i told him i felt she didn't give me the discount because of my color. he said he usually wouldn't agree with that comment, but he feels this way also.
i'm so hurt you guys... i am not racist and i am so... just HURT. not angry. hurt.![]()
