Racist store. If your aboriginal they follow you around the store and then will ask you to empty your purse for no reason whatsoever.DO NOT SHOP HERE they are RACIST against aboriginal people!
Unless your a white customer I wouldn't even attempt to shop here. Upon entering the store it wasn't 5 minutes before I had an employee ask me if I needed help finding anything I said no but afterwards she stayed in every aisle I was in refusing to leave even when other customers asked her for help. Now I have seen before on a previous visit a different employee follow a 20ish aboriginal woman around the same way today a 40ish aboriginal woman was being well stocked essentially. She even had the balls to come up behind me way to close so she could lean over to look in my very nice new coach purse. I didn't say anything as I knew I was doing nothing wrong and I figured after she could double check to make sure she hadn't somehow missed me stuffing my purse that maybe then I could shop in peace. Lol that would be asking to much. Anyways after all this as u moved aisles I lost her for not even a minute as she was answering a question and then not even 2min later a manager comes almost running up beside me and asked me to empty my purse and I know my law I helped inforce it in my previous job now even if I had let's say put something in my purse which I certainly did not but if I had I'm not stealing until I try to leave the store without paying for an item. So anyways I went to show her the stuff on in my purse and she stated the pens which is what I had been looking at and the 2 I had picked up I then picked up again to show her they were in my cart still because I told her I do have pens in my purse but they are used and I have the book with me to prove I had them before but with that statement from me she asked me to leave which at this point more then fine with me I'm not giving this racist against aboriginal woman for sure. I feel bad for my thoughts on the previous visit as I assumed the reason the other girl was getting followed was because they watched her steal something either this visit or a previous one and I come to figure out it probably had nothing to do with that and that michaels employees seem to be told to follow all aboriginal woman around which has made me appreciate online shopping so much more and I'll also be sure to tell anyone I heat mention this store that shopping here is helping to fund a very racist store. Sad really I had only gone in to try to shop local you know spend my money with my neighbors because it certainly wasn't saving me money shopping here instead of online. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE TO FOLLOW SOMEONE BASED SOLELY ON THERE RACE.
