I did, it’s some others here who apparently did not. Friend never said she was offended, the friend never said I’m being profiled. It may have been, again it’s a very regular occurrence whether people want to believe it or not. But in any case it was OP who said that she thought she was being profiled not the friend. Per post #1.
Anyone would be offended if a store acted like they were going to steal.
As I said earlier, people don't run out of stores with a box of shoes anymore, there are cameras everywhere.
People still steal, regardless of cameras. It is impractical to take the box, though I'm sure there are some that would try. Normally what they do is put the shoes on and try to walk out with it. Some will stuff in their jackets or pants. Some will even have wire cutters on hand to take the alarm tags off. Thieves will always try to figure out a way.
Certain demographics got their reputation the old-fashioned way - they earned it!
Exactly. You can get hurt or worse walking into the wrong neighborhood. People that ignore violent crime rates and where they happen often learn the hard way. Violent crimes rates vary greatly from race to race. Don’t care if pointing that out is “racist”. That term is so watered down and overused it no longer has much pull.

IF OP's friend was treated like anyone else would've been, than fair enough. Sounds like some stores DO have a policy of "one shoe". If the policy is applied across the board, than no problem.
Sounds like, though, unless OP and his buddy go back and observe, we'll never know for sure.
