Who does her taxes? This luxury purchase on (her) business card?
yeah, not sure I would divulge that little nugget. Business cards are made to be used for borderline legitimate purposes, but I don’t see this working out

it is obvious she couldn't afford the entire purchase with cash.

I can't think of any logical benefit of paying for these items with a credit card.


Why is any of this your business?

it is my concern when they buy all the high end crap and then cry poor and whine they have to file bankruptcy and want money/sympathy.


Where is any evidence that this is what's happening here?


The racism by some of you folks is incredible.

White Guy here and most of you are proving just how dumb you are! I’m more confused after reading the comments and not sure what the OP intentions were.

Also love how we denegrate women who own luxury purses but when we want to buy a 55-70k truck, or go on a 5500.00 big game hunt it makes perfect sense. I’m not filthy rich by any means but my wife owns an LV bag that was over 3k. We take ridiculous vacations and spend too much money on certain things. On other things we’re very frugal, and even max out our retirements every year. Plenty of money in savings and overall enjoy life.

Stop judging people on purchases if you have zero clues as to their situations.

Because this article never would have made it to the OT if the woman in question was white. Period.

Here is the part left out of the op. This was after she let the clerk hold everything while she continued to shop

quote:

But while Hale was checking out some sunglasses, someone called the Troy police. The next thing she knew, she was being confronted by an officer.

“He said ‘You and you, I need to talk to you,’” Dana told WXYZ.

Her daughter began filming the encounter with the police on her cellphone. On the footage, the officer can be heard sayings that the name on the business card doesn’t match. He also says that the card is declined

Ive read this entire thread and I still don’t understand why the clerk called the police to begin with? If the woman and her daughter had the money to buy the merchandise, cash or credit card, why were the police called? If the card wasn’t legit why didn’t the clerk tell the lady so? This is all a cluster frick situation. What am I missing here?

If the black woman goes to the press and it is NOT reported would it be seen as silencing the voice of the black minority?

Clerk probably told to not directly confront a potential thief.

Thieves steal credit cards then check limits. They will combine cash or other credit cards to make large purchases.

Ok thank you, that sounds plausible. But if the lady was doing something shady I’m guessing she and her daughter would have gotten the frick outta there and not hung around to do more shopping?

This is a terribly written article that does not provide enough information to even understand half of the story.

You mean you wouldn’t pursue legal action yourself? I’m white and I see this is as wrong by the store clerk.

I looked back and I didn't see any mention of race in the subject line or post.

But I have seen it mentioned by you and a couple of others.

It's a shame that all you see is color, which is doing yourself a disservice after you felt compelled to tell me that you feel sorry for me, because you thought this was a race related thread.


Holy disingenuous post.

Stop. Just stop.

Designer bags aren't sewn together with unicorn hair. You're paying for a name and that's it.

Trucks/Cars/Hunting Trips have tangible benefits for costing so much.

When an automobile manufacturer can make a fully loaded truck with all the bells and whistles, that's just as luxurious, powerful and dependable for like 10k... THEN you can bitch about guys dropping 60 or 70k for the same truck with a different company logo on it.
