Being a young person walking into a store shouldn\u2019t be out of the ordinary, but sometimes we are met with hostility. Countless times I have walked into stores and have been spotted and followed, followed around every turn, around every rack, around every isle. Many times I don\u2019t get a reaction out of them, they don\u2019t ask if I need help or offer their services, they just linger. I know, and many other people who have gone through the same thing know that these people are following you out of fear that you are stealing. At one point it got so bad I refused to go into stores with bags that I or my family acquired over the shopping trip out of fear of being accused. My younger sister to this day hates trying on clothes because of three separate issues where mall security was called after she was suspected for stealing. She was 15 at the time.<\/p>\n

As I write this blog I asked my roommate if she has ever suffered from this and she immediately starts riddling off stories of her and friends being followed and in some cases asked to leave. The story that irritates her the most was when her and her friends in high school walked into Saks Fifth Avenue just to look around. She was saying how she was never in a store that nice and now never will return. The salespeople locked eyes and were more questioning their reasons for being there rather than asking for help. I am curious if this is a natural reaction for some salespeople or if they have learned to do this through experience. I am sure we have all had this scared dog look on our faces at least once in a store. The cat being the lurking salesmen.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
