I went to the little five points location in Atlanta and spotted a hat that I was interested in purchasing. I had actually been looking for a similar hat with no luck at a number of stores that I generally frequent. From the moment I touched the hat, I was stalked around the store by the associates. At first, I assumed the sales were commission-based and the associates simply wanted to be the person to lock-in the sale. But I literally could not move around the store without an associate coincidentally appearing next to me. My friend, on the other hand, managed to make her way around the store, picking up multiple items, without even once being accosted or asked if she needed help. I could not even try the hat on in the mirror without an associate standing behind me. When attempting to get a second of privacy so I could actually look at myself in the mirror without being leered at, I opened a dressing room door and was promptly asked who I was looking for by another associate. I immediately put the hat back and my friend and I left the store. I m sure the associates thought their relentless harassment thwarted a potential shoplifter, but they actually just turned away a paying customer. I found the same hat on Amazon, and it was ten dollars cheaper.
