[cocoalightning27]

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

lol it depends on what im wearing when they come after me, i noticed. when im wearing my "chola" shit, like my dickie jeans or my tight tees and jeans with my airforces or black chucks with my eyeliner and ligloss and whatnot they follow me like a hawk. then when im wearing a sweater and jeans they`ll follow with their eyes like im some interesting television show.

[*nightmare4taki*]

Damn and I thought i was the only one because Im black.

[freeflow]

this lady always followed us around her store because we were black ..first we didnt think it was true and we didnt wanna be racist but one day we were with a bunch of our friends of diff. races soo we all went in the store at diff times and the whole time the lady didnt look @ any of my friends cept the black ones .. we got soo mad .. but we quit going in there

[q-tips rule]

oh god that is annoying. they go all over looking at your every move. >_>

[tooeffingcrazy]

Gosh, I hate that. I usually just walk away from them and ignore them. :) Or I would just stare at them. Haha.

[toodlepops.]

Yes, it happens to me.

[starlette]

Well I work in reatail and I understand why they do that, but at the same time, I never get in peoples faces. i always just ask them if they are finding everything okay, tell them the sales when they walk in the door, and then leave the shopping up to them, because I know thats how I like to be treated. BUt sometimes we'd get these girls who would come in with huge empty jcpenny bags, and because we couldnt afford to buy the 6000 dollar security system so the ink tags would go off, we really had to watch people. Thats when the can I help you are you finding everything do you need another size can I take that to the dressing room for you etc etc comes into play. Because if someone is acting like they are stealing (I would know, I have a friend who did it all the time) we can't afford to not say or do something. But they should never ask you if you are stealing something. You can legally press charges if you arent. Thats why we had to watch the people so closely, because you had to know for sure that they took something. If you didnt know for sure, you oculdnt say anything, because if you were wrong, they could sue. SO yeah. Just a little insight from a gril whos worked a lot of retail.

[iliang86]

that happens a lot yah...my friend was stopped by a security guard at walmart once. they thought he stole a few cd's. they just happened ro notice that he had them in his hand at one point, then didnt at another. he had to show them where he put the cds when they confronted him

[Elvis_IzBack]

yeh i was younger, and i had gum in my mouth, and after a while i went into the sweets corner, but i didnt get anything beause i had no money and i was just waiting for my mother to finish her shopping. Anyway i turned round and sum security guy was staring at me and i gave him a wierd look, but he must of thought it was sneaky or sumthing. So i started walking away and the more i looked worried they'd get curious, but im just like wtf!? He pointed at me to sum other shop assistant probably telling them to watch out for me or sumthing. Grrr i left that shop and didnt cum there for a very long time.

[vampireduster]

yes, yes i do

[emazing]

YES. It gets really annoying after a while. There is this old security guard at Group USA [I went there once when we were going to buy a Mother's Day gift for my mom, and then the man kept following us around and looking very un-friendly. I get nervous too.

[KERP1UNK]

happened to me b4..it sucked..

[demolished]

Damn.... happened again last night.
Me and my friends were kickin' it at the mall last night, walkin around checkin stuff out.
Once again, security guards on our backs! Only two but still.... come on!
Just because of the way we dress!

We were looking through a Knife Gallery, my friend was blabbering something about a knife then my other friend said "Shut up, or else i'm gonna take that knife and shank shank shank you with it"

All of a sudden a deep voice behind us said "Well, if your gonna take it make sure you pay for it first"

*Evil Glares* "..."
"What if I don't want to pay for it?"
"Then some bad stuff is going to happen kid"
*We laugh*
*We leave*

that deep voicer is a d**k. He/she doesnt understand anything from you guys. They are probably old.

[jue]

hahas; ifeel quilty too when i dont buy something. But it is there job.

[shottycakes]

ugh i hate that i really do

[Spirited Away]

Say: "if you're going to follow me around, then you might as well hold all these stuff for me. It'll make you feel better if they're in your hands." Then hands him/her random things you pull off the shelves. Don't get angry, get even.

[EmmalieV]

Wow , I made this topic A WHILE AGO , when my name was still " Emmalie ".


But yeha it still happens.

[WrathOfOnigo]

Ah yes. My friend and I were at the mall and we look pretty shady. So these people kept starring at us from a corner of the store.

[The-Mach-Hare]

people make too big of deals out of little things...

tell them to back off or youll get everyone you know not to go there anymore and give them a bad rep

[charanjust4yu]

weird that never happened to me

[PrincessDani91]

Once when I was at this store with my mom the lady that worked at the checkout counter followed me she tried to make it look like she wasn't by looking away when I looked at her and looking at the dresses but I knew what she was up to I think it was because I'm black she didn't do that to anyone else when they came in she acted all preppy*and they were all white*I bet she was racist I've never gone back to that store since that day.

[Jus2s1mp13]

yeah i really hate that..Bug me too.
