Had
a
highly
unpleasant
encounter
with
two
extremely
rude
staff
members.
I
don’t
usually
shop
in
H&M
stores
anymore
for
many
reasons,
but
last
weekend
we
needed
a
quick
change
of
clothes
for
a
prolonged
visit
in
Roeselare.
The
two
women
were
leaning
on
a
clothes
rack
in
the
middle
isle
about
5
metres
from
the
entrance.
I
walked
in
and
proceeded
immediately
to
the
left
to
check
some
clothes
on
the
wall
about
5
meters
away
from
them.
Suddenly
l
heard
snickering
that
grew
into
loud
laughter
behind
my
back.
I
thought
something
funny
was
happening
on
the
street,
so
l
turned
to
see
what
the
commotion
was.
The
oldest
staff
member
then
loudly
exclaimed
in
Flemish
dialect:
“Oh
no,
l
hadn’t
even
seen
the
front
of
it!”
“IT.”
I
can
assure
you
l
looked
nothing
at
all
like
Pennywise
the
Dancing
Clown.
Up
until
this
point
l
had
no
idea
they
were
talking
about
me.
However,
as
l
turned,
they
started
stifling
their
laughter
and
kept
throwing
glances
in
my
direction.
I
was
wearing
a
silver
coloured
wig
that
day
and
maybe
those
two
aren’t
used
to
seeing
a
black
woman
channeling
Ororo
Monroe,
but
l
found
their
reaction
to
be
very
unprofessional,
childish
and
mean
spirited.
They
might
also
not
have
known
that
l
understood
every
word
they
were
saying,
which
actually
makes
it
worse.
When
l
confronted
them
by
telling
them
that
if
they
really
must
make
fun
of
customers,
they
should
be
more
discreet,
the
older
woman
bluntly
and
hostilely
interjected
by
stating
“she
had
no
idea
what
l
was
talking
about”,
then
turned
away
and
proceeded
to
address
another
customer.
Her
younger
colleague
starting
snickering
again.
In
my
face.
I
feel
bad
for
their
other
colleagues
who
might
well
be
wonderful
people.
I’ve
seen
that
the
store’s
reviews
are
mainly
positive,
but
all
of
them
are
from
non-Black
people
and
some
ppl
l
question
whether
they’ve
actually
physically
BEEN
to
THIS
particular
store.
If
you’re
Black,
you
might
want
to
shop
somewhere
else
in
this
town
or
go
to
a
bigger
city.
That’s
what
we
ended
up
doing.
Even
if
this
wasn’t
about
race,
l
don’t
think
bullying
your
customers
is
great
store
policy,
so
l’m
good,
thanks!
Never
shopping
there
again...👋🏾
