Asking why she doesn't do anything about a laundry list of problems
on the reserve is like asking why our society hasn't done anything
about the same laundry list in society in generall
I think she was targeted because of her race.

I don't know, that was before my time but the level of attention given the customer and potential sales would have inclined the merchant toward sevice above all in the pursuit of profit disregarding entirely the number or arrangement of feet of the customer.

well it was before my time too. I learned about it after watching a tv series called Mr. Selfridge, which was based on a real person.

You have never been tailed by a floor walker before? I enjoy the hell out of picking them out. As for the intercom, they are automated "canned" messages when motion sensors trigger it off in high target areas of stores.

Motion sensors can't be set to detect race.

Motion detectors eh. Strange, both my boys are in retail, one in a management position. When I asked them about "motion detectors" and "canned intercom messages" they looked at me like I was nuts. So, I'd also like to see this proof of your claim, because as far as I'm concerned, you're nucking futs.

I had one watching me in a mall in Surrey one time I sat down outside the Orange Julius or somewhere like it and he then stood there pretending to not watch me-then a staff member from a nearby store came out and started talking to him like he worked there-you had to be there but it was as much fun as monkeys.

He was all dressed up in his Surrey Casual outfit-dirty blue jeans/nylon jacket a size too big/baseball cap & running shoes perfect camouflage for someone over 60yo (which is how old he was)-perfect camouflage unless you have a prick like me who can spot someone watching a block away.

So I slowly finished my sugary drink, stood up, stretched, farted loudly (it was Surrey remember) and shuffled out he of course went back to hiding between aisles in low end retail operations.

Anyway if that Grand Chief had the brains god gave a goose she would have walked right up to the floor walker and confronted them-placed her face 30 cm away and said 'Are you looking for me'?

She didn't though she'd rather whine and hope for a cash settlement-typical of her type.

Hey dummy, did you read the article? Did you listen to the video? She didn't wait for security, she went right up to management and confronted them.

If she really wanted to rock the boat she would have started with the guy doing the rowing-the Captain couldn't care less but if she bitchsmacked a few floorwalkers they wouldn't be nearly as enthusiastic thus easing the pressure on her benighted race-you've never worked retail have you Pilgrim?
