I
visited
the
store
to
return
a
shirt
and
was
approached
by
a
gentlemen
by
the
name
of
George
M
(according
to
the
sales
receipt).
He
curtly
asked
me
"what
can
I
do
for
you"
and
mentioned
that
I
wanted
to
return
a
shirt.
My
request
was
met
with
an
eye-roll
and
it
was
evident
that
processing
a
simple
return
seemed
like
an
obligation
for
George.
After
quietly
processing
the
return
(all
good
till
now)
he
mentioned
in
a
condescending
tone
that
next
time
"I
should
bring
the
shirt
in
a
condition
that
is
re-sellable."
I
highlighted
that
shirt
was
folded
in
the
plastic
cover
that
I
had
received
upon
initial
purchase
and
it
was
naturally
wrinkled.
This
turned
into
another
lecture
on
how
the
shirt
was
totally
ruined!
To
add
insult
to
injury
-
a
couple
of
fellow
staff
members
found
George's
behavior
assuming
I
was
made
to
feel
extremely
uncomfortable
and
this
led
to
an
unnecessary
confrontation.
I
also
noticed
how
the
gentlemen
behind
me
in
line
was
initially
greeted
in
a
much
more
hospitable
way.
Now
this
said
gentlemen
was
an
older
Caucasian
dressed
up
in
a
suit
while
I
was
a
dark-skinned
32
year
old
in
shorts
and
sneakers
running
a
quick
errand
while
working
from
home.
It
is
evident
that
this
store
(and
perhaps
Brooks
Brothers)
in
general
is
only
committed
to
serving
a
certain
a
demographic
and
that
anyone
beyond
that
demographic
is
an
obligation
to
a
group
of
elitist
and
privileged
sales
associates.
If
you
really
must
shop
at
Brooks
Brothers
-
I
would
visit
the
store
at
110
Bloor
Street
West
and
ask
for
Tyrone.
He
is
a
true
gentlemen
and
treats
everyone
(regardless
of
their
race
or
how
they
dress)
with
warmth
and
is
eager
to
help.
