Were you wearing a low cut or a v neck top? Was skin from your chest, stomach, or back showing? If not, then I dunno. Don't go to that store.

Why are people asking about the OP's dress style? She says in her OP that she wears business casual and is among the best-dressed customers in the store. This is a weird line of questioning. I think she's smart enough to figure out this much, herself.

Ok, so why say that men don't know what being a woman is like? That's not relevant to the discussion either. She has no idea what they're talking about. It may have nothing to do with her gender. It's not logical to say that my response to something you said was irrelevant. You shouldn't have brought it up.

What community are you in where there are no rude and disrespectful store attendants. I might consider relocating...
It is not the norm for store attendants to point, stare, laugh and mock at the customers. Most of them are pretty neutral where I'm from--they're not overly nice but they aren't rude either.

It was very relevant to the post I was responding to, which said the OP was reading too much into the situation, and the problem was all in her head.

There are better battles to fight. People are starving, dying of treatable illnesses. People are.abused everyday... and you think a crusade against a cashier is a good use of time?
Whose saying those issues aren't being addressed?

Don't jump to conclusions. Don't just assume the worst. Why not ask him straight up. If he's not man enough to give you a straight answer then maybe it is something.

She also noted that she isn't as dark as other black female customers. what is your opinion on that part?

She explained that a couple of times. Review her posts. There's no need to repeat that.
