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. Sources: Hello, Negro; KMBC This is absolutely outrageous, to say the least. Edit: WTF, n****er's not censored if it's in a topic title? |

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) |

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

QUOTE(karmakiller @ Feb 20 2009, 10:39 PM)  HA 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.
Um, WTF at the reason being in the system. Who would write that on a receipt? |

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.

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.

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.
