This store is located in the airport so I was pretty dressed down (hoodie and shorts with crocs) yet not wearing anything that could conceal items. Regardless, I was profiled and couldn’t even shop in peace without someone asking if I needed something specific. I told one lady I needed eye drops and asked another for her prices on neck pillows. She responded to me and said, “oh those are expensive.” I didn’t ask if they were expensive or not, I asked for the price. I repeated my question and she hadn’t even known. As I waited for her to go and get the price I started browsing for books and was asked once more if I needed something in particular. At one point one lady even stood right beside me and watched me browse. Mind you, there were other costumers in the store who weren’t getting this treatment. In fact, they didn’t even ask these guests if they needed help. Of course, after purchasing my items they almost seemed shocked that I could afford my total and their whole demeanors changed (they became more welcoming). I told one of the workers how I felt and she got defensive. I kept my composure and explained to her how it was wrong and she admitted that their actions could make one feel “weird” and I was right. I told her I did not feel “weird” I felt uncomfortable. As a young black woman in America, dressed down for a long flight in the evening I should be able to shop in peace and not be judged or watched. Hopefully this store gets it together.

Easy in and out because its in the center section, you can see everything from walking by. Snacks, books, souvenirs, sundries. Pricey, but its inside security of an international airport.
