Hurry up and buy…

Simone Gamble and a friend decided to shop at a Tacoma, Washington clothing store.

Gamble explained, “I was in the dressing room and while in there the [manager] started talking about the procedures for theft. Mind you she was not on the floor when we first arrived to the store. I select dresses then tried them on. I was going to PURCHASE one of the dresses until I heard her speaking directly in front of my dressing room about theft procedures. I then got dressed and went to tell her I wanted to buy one of the dresses and confronted her about her implicit conversation right outside the curtain. She kicked us out of the store when I tried asking her why and she then said all of this.”

The manager also called security.

When security arrived, Gamble calmly explained the situation; there were wasn’t any further action taken.

The manager was not reprimanded and Gamble and her friend were not penalized.

Gamble explained, “The mental trauma I’m experiencing can’t be fixed with an apology. The incident that happened can’t be fixed with training employees.” The wronged consumer added that she was “humiliated and basically felt inhuman in that moment of such hatred.”

Stay tuned for next week’s compilation, unfortunately.
