Famous Footwear Outlet

Racial profiling lives on. I had a troubling incident happen to me on 3/14/18. I decided to take my boyfriend out today and show him around Atlantic City. We were shopping for some slippers, but wanted to just browse some stores before actually deciding on a purchase. It was getting late, around 6:45-6:50pm when we entered. We immediately walked towards the middle of the store where the women's sandals and slippers were located. A white woman employee by the name of Angela was walking around greeting other customers an aisle next to us, but did not come to say anything to us. We noticed, but didn't say anything, and continued to look at a pair of white & gray Nike sandals next to the Adidas ones. When she was walking by, I had to call her over to ask her about the slippers and sizing because they didn't offer any in the in between sizes. She mentioned the Adidas sizes, but I asked her about the Nike, to which she answered my question and then walked away, after telling us that we could sit and try them on if we needed to. We thanked her and went back to looking at them, before deciding to check around the store a little more. I was walking towards the back of the store, and there's a large mirror that reflects the aisle behind me, where I noticed her moving between aisles and watching me. I ignored it. Around 6:55-6:58pm we decided to leave because it was getting late and we wanted to check out some more stores. We told Angela we would possibly be back later for a purchase, and left. We didn't get further than two stores down (in front of H&M) where we were stopped by a security officer of the complex who called to me and explained that Angela, the same woman we just said goodbye to thirty seconds ago, called them and said we stole a pair of ADIDAS slippers, and we needed to follow him back to the store. When we were brought in, we told the security officer he was free to check us, to which he replied wasn't necessary (in front of Angela). She tried to say that when she was in the aisle, she found an empty box, and that the shoes were missing. We told her we didn't have them, and again said they were free to check us if they wanted to verify this. She then asked if we moved them to some other place in the store, to which I informed her that even if we had, it's not our job or responsibility to place them back, but hers at the end of the day to do inventory and replacing. After that, she said that we could leave, but that we were not to return (even though she had no evidence or proof of us stealing). Security followed her to the back to check the tapes, where they were unable to find anything. When I questioned security of what time he was called, he said at 6:50, right at the time we entered/was browsing the store. *Posted from Facebook post of me reviewing this store.

The assistant manager (unfortunately didn't get his name) was a very rude guy. He was awfully pushy and condescending if you didn't do as he asked. I still bought my shoes as I wanted them, but I won't shop there again.
