Full Version: Journeys thinks that black people who return shoes are dumb niggers

QUOTE(Hello Negro)
On Oct 17, 2008, a young man went to “Journey’s” show store in Kansas City, MO (some accounts of this story say it happened in Kansas City KS…Oak Park Mall). He bought a pair of shoes and then saw an identical pair at a different store for less.? As such, he bought the identical shoes from the cheaper store and took back the original more pricey pair to Journey’s. Later on that night, as he was reviewing the receipt, he noticed that the reason for the return was “Dumb N*gger”. When he took the receipt back to the store, they didn’t even apologize but did admit that the “reason” was in the system.

This is absolutely outrageous, to say the least.

Edit: WTF, n****er's not censored if it's in a topic title?
Cyanide-
thats really ridiculous. Seems like people these days are just childish.

yeah you already know i was shocked when i saw your tumblr post on it. i just don't get how as an employee you can be so dumb as to do that.



btw it's not censored in the topic titles because it's plural (i think)

Um, WTF at the reason being in the system. Who would write that on a receipt?

Im more offended that they called the guy dumb. Say what you want about n****er, I think we're pretty much over that word, but don't mock the dudes intelligence, especially if hes being economically responsible

It wasn't written, per se. Journeys has it as a code in their system so you input a number and it's printed on the return receipt.

This just proves how offensive the "N" word is.

Stupid f*ckin people claimin the word isn't bad -.-

And honestly, if that was me in that customer's shoes... lol f*ck the law, I would have jumped over the counter and destroyed that f****t's life.

you're an idiot.

sad thing is....you think you're smart

and sadly you're going to continue to think you're smart instead of actually thinking of why it is im calling you an idiot. predictable.


your gonna try to respond, and prove you're not an idiot, but you REALLY are. otherwise you wouldnt have gotten this post from me. let that marinate in your head for a bit.

Isn't Journeys a store for black people more than white people? Why would that excuse, even though it probably wasn't, be in the system? Every time i've gone to Journeys its packed with black people.

My Journeys store is populated with Caucasian or Asian descents.

i've never been to journey's i don't think.

Basically, the store is filled with modern "hip" shoes, shirts, pants, backpacks, belts, belt buckles, shades, shoe laces, etc.
From Dickies to Vans.

yeah i've seen one before but i don't think i ever actually shopped in there. i won't now though for sure!

Yeah, that was the whole irony of the thing. I don't know if you watched the video but the kid's a college student.

1. No Journeys isn't more for one race. 2. The employee admitted it was in the system.

As soon as I noticed it stubborn.gif

well, that's pretty whack. I'm glad I only window shop at Journey's ahahah that place doesn't even have kicks that I like. Most of the time, when I put in a reason for return I just put something along the lines of "customer wasn't satisfied." this kinda goes to show how far our country has advanced or lack thereof.
Cyanide-
besides journey's shoes are way too overpriced so i don't even blame him for buying them at a different place. Also this isn't probably going to help their publicity after this.

Journey's is now on my black list



no pun intended
wwwww
I'm still going to get shoes there, they have the best selection out of any store here.

No doubt. In fact I wonder if all their cash registers are like this @ Journeys. If so... I'd get a job there and infiltrate/exploit them.

that's why journey's store is at the mall. EVERYTHING at the mall seems overpriced.

i don't even look at stuff like that when i get my receipts back from returning items. i get my Converse from Journeys. i'll make sure to check the receipt next time. did the employee who put that in the system get fired??
Simba
promoted
smash
serious?!
Simba
no


shoot, sorry sad.gif
smash
it's cool. console.gif i'm glad you weren't. so if it's in the system, does that mean that employees have used that as a reason before?
hi-C
^ That's the big question. I'd hope not but who knows?
