It’s easy to laugh when it hasn’t been a repeated experience through your life time, but for Black people it very often is. I’m more famous example is with Oprah Winfrey years ago where they would not buzz her into a store (they didn’t know who she was, only saw a black face).
That's total crap. The store was CLOSED. Would you expect them to let me, a white person in, after store hours?
If it is a store that experiences a lot of thefts, they may put policies in place to minimize losses. If the store is in a minority neighborhood, it is not the store's fault if they have a high rate of thefts.
It doesn't even have to be in a minority neighborhood. They don't talk much about them because it's not PC but gangs of thieves are doing 'smash n grabs' in high end shopping districts across the country. They ram a car in the window are crash the window and grab as much as they can. Sometimes they post photos and most of the time they don't. But in every single case when they have, they have been black.
They have done this on the Magnificent Mile in many stores and also in Northbrook. I have read they are doing it in San Francisco but to find out about them, you have to dig. They go against the leftist narrative so they rarely report much on them.

I just looked to see if that was accurate. Actually the store was not closed. She asked to see a $38,000 handbag and the clerk refused to give it to her, told her it was too expensive for her.

Anything to get her into the news:>) Next time - put your face on before you go shopping or send your personal assistant. I had a summer job at a boutique where Burberry was at the low end. Do you have an idea what kind of people try to get in, handle merchandise and leave with all or part of it?
Krosser has a laundry list of issues with people and when he does not have an issue he will look until he finds one.

Different story.
"Still, this isn't Oprah's first high-end shopping drama. Back in 2005 employees at the Hermes shop in Paris wouldn't let her enter their store to make a quick purchase. That actually blew up into Hermes-gate, with some folks yelling, "They were racist!" and Hermes and others saying, "No, there was a party to set up for and the shop was closed!"- https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswi...38-000-handbag

Well again, I have witnessed profiling on more than one occasion with my own eyes when out with my friend, so I know it happens.
It appears your friend was anxious to be offended. I have a bi-racial homosexual couple next door and they seem to have a problem with everything.
That is part of the offense culture and result of the divide and conquer strategy. It isn't good for us as a society to make these negative broad assumptions about our neighbors, and be out there sniffing for offenses to the point that most people are expected to be the enemy. That is paranoia and you become the wolf cryer at some point.
It was more about the race than his dressing, I brought that up because there are others who may think how he dressed was a factor (in how he may or may not be treated).
Also the store is 40 mins from where I am at so I can't just ask a white friend to go in to see how they were treated.
With regards to the article that redplum linked, those stores are in parts of Brooklyn with majority people-of-color. Implying racial profiling.
A few have mentioned this is "common practice"
Is it really in areas where the customers are mainly white?
Somehow I doubt he would've been treated the same as a white customer in Beverly Hills.
In other words, you missed the chance to observe how other shoppers were treated and you're willing to put zero effort into finding out if this was company policy or not. But you want us to accept at face value, given no conclusive evidence, that your friend was racially profiled. Got it.
