With only a few days left until Christmas, Dana Hale and her 24-year-old daughter, Paris, went to a Saks store store in Troy, Mich., on Dec. 21 to get some shopping done.




quote:

As WXYZ-TV reports, Hale bought $6,731 worth of Louis Vuitton designer bags, a belt, a keychain and Christmas gifts. She put some of the luxury goods on her business credit card, and paid for the rest in cash. Hale, who owns a training center for nurses in East Point, Mich., says that the clerk told her she could leave her purchases with her as she continued shopping, which Hale did.


Wait, it's coming.

quote:

“They profiled me because I was in sweats. Because I was black ... they could just treat people any kind of way,” Hale said. The entire experience left her “really sad” and “embarrassed.”


Nope, that wasn't it.

quote:

“They made me feel belittled,” she continued. “They made me feel harassed. And it was intimidation that you called the police?”


Saks trying to make it right.

quote:

Saks is reportedly “investigating the matter,” according to WXYZ. Hale was told that the Saks clerk called in the report to the police, adding that a representative for the company called her last Saturday offering to refund the money she paid for the goods (which she had kept).


And here it is. A complete shocker. Never saw this one coming.

quote:

Hale told the TV station that she’s called an attorney.

I will never understand people who aren’t insanely rich buying fricking bags worth thousands of dollars. Just idiotic.

It's sort of easy to understand if you understand the concept of identity and image.

Identity is how we perceive ourselves and image is how we want others to perceive us.

Image is where we want to make others think highly of us. So we will do dumb things like buy $1500 bags to give others the impression that they have money.

Of course, we all don't want to give that impression, so we all don't buy $1500 bags. Only those who want to say "look at all this money I have" buy those things.

I tell my girlfriend all the time, if you don't have more cash to put into your purse than what the purse actually costs, you either don't need it or can't afford it.

I fail to see your gripe. Also, what is the root?

Coworker bought his S/O a 1500 dollar bag. I'll never understand it.

When someone I know showed me a very expesive high end wallet she got. I turned the wallet over and shook it and said, no wonder you don't have money in it. (She didn't get what I meant) She tells naysayers she got it on sale. Which she has no clue makes her paying $450 for it on sale;still makes her an ignorant fake.

Even if you have the Rothschilds money;paying an asinine amount of money for purses, clothes and what not is plain stupid.

I'm so confused. She paid or not? If she paid and still got arrested, I'd be pissed too.

Concerning yourself with how others spend their own money is plain stupid.

Did you leave out the part of the article that the cashier called the police because the card declined, and the woman claims she has a receipt? If the woman did have a receipt, why didn't she post it all over social media for this news story to show? The woman claims she paid from a business acct and cash.

No one from a store would call the police unless a check/card didn't clear.

Calm down Francis, they're just stating their opinions on an internet forum. They aren't planning a shopping intervention for her.
