Get used to it?

I hate to say this, it being your mother and all, but that letter is terribly written. She tried too hard to sound intelligent, but writing is not her strong suit. That's not an insult, but a fact. Somebody should have proof-read or ghosted it for her.

You should have organized a sit-in. Or change-in, I guess that means you'd be in the changing room for a long time though.

I don't see the racism here. Your mom is reaching. What does she hope to accomplish with that letter?

 

[lorizzle]

did your mom dress like she could afford burberry? I know when I walk into high end stores dressed in regular joe clothes, i never get any love. IMO it's not good business, but it's also not racism (if this was the case).

 

[guttagetsbusy]

This is slightly off-topic but doesn't this always seem to happen? Not so much the racism but it seems that whenever you enter a store just to browse or something you get swarmed by the employees asking if you need something but the moment you go in and actually are IN NEED of assistance, you never get it.

She probably went in there with that focused "I know what i'm about to buy" face instead of the awkward confused face "oh where is it?" look.

^ I prefer this method. Plus, I don't know about y'all but I get real hot when I shop, I hope it's not paranoia lol.

Don't some employees get paid on commission?
So I can see why they wouldn't want to waste their time helping your mom when
they can go help a white couple who is nicely dressed in Burberry.
Easy sales for them.

 

[oh you mad]

You guys are soft.

Racist this, racist that

My friends and I weren't approached at all when we browsed around the Burberry store on Michigan Ave. We don't dress in designer digs at all and weren't looking to buy anything either, tbh. We were wearing very regular clothing. White Jew, Indian, and Peruvian, since it seems to matters. 

 

[abstrakt]

[damnthosejs]

I despise people like your mother.

 

[kal ripped ken]

Never really bothered me...if i want to buy something ill buy it. If i need help, I'll ask for it

 

[recognize game]

Perhaps there was a set sales associate that was working the boots section, in which, had been taking a dookie at the the alleged time.

going further, maybe she just wants to be recognized by writing the letter.

to be someone in Burberry's eye's

This and also I was

ing at OP's mom's silly attempts to guilt trip the company.

"I could have ordered the boots online," maannn shut the hell up with that doo doo.
You knew it was cold so you should have stayed at home and ordered online.

I was also

ing about her comment about herself, "I consider myself to be a smart, sophisticated and elegant forty-nine year old woman"

With all those grammar mistakes this is what the people at Burberry are doing.

 

[AZwildcats]

bad customer service, not racism

 

[jiggaman414]

yall are cold

 

[degenerate423]

At least she wasn't harassed in the store.  The worst thing is when the employees treat you like you're gonna steal something, and make it seem like they can afford the clothes in high-end designer stores.  I mean it doesn't take a rhodes scholar to know that they're not making anywhere near six-figures, so I don't get why they act like they are
