Ive never been followed at a toys store or any other regular store. BUT I was followed at Dillards once. Before the economy went to crap i would spend like $3000-$4000 a year there on clothing and shoes. So there were the same people that i always went to and bought stuff from. I even knew 2 managers there. Nothing personal just professional from being a customer. Well the last time I went in I walk to the Polo's and Hilfiger shirts, say hi to the lady i knew and she helped me get like 10 or so shirts. I set them on the counter and head to the jeans dept and thats were the trouble started. The lady in the jeans dept off the bat started to follow me. Didnt ask if i needed help or nothing. She just followed me for about 3 min very closely. I asked her if she had soemthing in the back and she says no and then call security. so the security guard shows up and i know him too. I always wave at him and we've had a few friendly chats. He looks at me and she continues talking to him about me. Then he comes up to me and say "Hey, Hows your son" The ladies face was priceless. her face was all red and embarrassed. I talked with him for a little while and went back over to the polo counter. Rang up all of my stuff and paid in cash and started talking to the Polo lady about the jeans Lady. She said that she always does that. To everyone she doesnt like at first glance. Anyways, Thats the only time anything like that has happened to me. I actually felt really offended and was quite mad for a while. I didnt ask to talk to a manager b/c i was still taken care of by the employees i knew. But that was about 2 years ago.
