Beall’s Outlet

25 percent off today on a beautiful teal blouse with matching necklace. i should come more often… i feel pretty

My husband and I shopped here recently and we were specifically targeted during our visit. There are rarely ever any dark people that shop at Bealls, so apparently the fact that my husband is Puerto Rican was shocking and scary to the staff. As we were shopping for his dress pants in the men’s area, a man came over the load speaker and forcefully informed us that we were being watched on camera and that they had security guards, weird right? I have never in my life heard a message like this come over a loud speaker! It was obviously not a routine recording. Then, to my utter shock and dismay, they had a man come on and say the same thing in Spanish! I looked around, and as I suspected, there was not a single other non-​white person in the store. After this I noticed that several employees were following us around the store at close range, watching us while pretending to look busy fiddling with hangers. Needless to say, I still spent over $ 100 here that day, however, I will NEVER be back. I have never experienced such blatant racial profiling and discrimination in my life! Disgusting. Bealls should be ashamed.
