A black girl went into a bridal salon to try on a dress, but the shop assistant was behaving oddly. The consultant swiftly increased the price of the dress and refused to let the woman try it on. The bride realized that she was simply being discriminated against because of her skin color. Will the woman be able to achieve justice?
00:05Once you've paid for it, then you can try it on.
00:07But it might not fit me.
00:09You have fitting rooms.
00:11I want to try it on first and then pay for it.
00:14Yes, we have fitting rooms so that customers can try on their things they bought after they paid for them.
00:19You've got to be kidding me.
00:21This is the first time I've ever heard I can't try on a dress before buying it.
00:25That's the way it is?
00:26It's our policy.
00:27I don't make the rules.
00:30Wow.
00:38Well?
00:39Okay then.
00:42$3,500 as agreed.
00:46You can count it.
00:48The thing is that this one was on a discount, but the special promotion is over.
00:54It's $5,000 now.
00:56But I called you yesterday and we discussed the price.
00:59It wasn't me I spoke to.
01:01And as I said, that deal has expired.
01:04It's $5,000.
01:06Well, how is it going there?
01:08What do you think?
01:12It's not bad, but I like the other one better.
01:15I don't know.
01:16This one seems less pretentious.
01:19Which is exactly what I want.
01:21Let's take a picture.
01:22Oh my god.
01:23I'm perfect.
01:24Okay.
01:25Turn around.
01:26Okay.
01:27What does this mean?
01:28How can some people try on a dress and others can't?
01:30That's because this girl is a regular customer of ours.
01:31Excuse me, what?
01:32Actually, this is my first time here, so don't make me out to be the worst here.
01:37Maybe you'll get a discount as a regular customer.
01:39Oh, that would be nice.
01:40So not only you're not letting me try on this overpriced dress, but you're also lying to
01:50my face.
01:51Get me the manager, please.
01:52Look, don't make me a-
01:53Get me the manager, now.
01:54So how about a discount?
01:55Oh, yeah.
01:56As regular customer's.
01:57Not on this dress.
01:58Hello, my name is Martin, and I am the manager of the
02:21As a manager of this wedding saloon, how can I help you, miss?
02:24Hello. The thing is, I ordered a wedding dress and I was hoping to try it on, but your employee...
02:30Yes, yes, yes. I'm aware of this situation and I apologize for this misunderstanding.
02:35As a saloon manager, I am willing to offer a solution that will be convenient for everyone.
02:41You're right. You can't pay for a dress before you will examine it from the different angles.
02:46So, one of our employee... Hello.
02:50...has kindly agreed to try on your dress and you will see everything suits you.
02:54And look, how lucky we are. You almost look the same, huh?
02:59What? That's absurd. Why can't I try it on myself like the way the other girl did in front of me?
03:06Um, how to put it, um, it would be less risky, you know?
03:11No, I don't. It would be less risky for me to try it on, because in fact, I am the one who is going to wear it on my wedding day.
03:19Um, yes, but I mean it would be less risky for us with the dress.
03:25Is this really happening? I mean, tell me, what can I do to this dress just by trying it on?
03:32Um, young lady, um, we are doing here everything we can. We make an exception for you. Please understand that.
03:43Oh, I clearly see that exception.
03:48So?
03:49So?
03:59Okay, fine. I agree.
04:01Perfect.
04:03Ta-da!
04:06What do you think about it? It looks great to me.
04:10Oh, thank you. I'll take it.
04:11Um, well, I don't know. It's hard for me to tell since the girl is definitely a different size.
04:22Uh, what are you implying?
04:24I'm not implying anything. I'm just saying you and I have different measurements.
04:29Uh, but we made it strictly to the measurements you gave us.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yes. That's why I think it would have been much more logical for me to be the one who tried on.
04:36Uh, yeah, but I don't know why are you getting so upset.
04:41You asked us to make you a dress. And we made it for you.
04:45You asked for it to be tried on.
04:47And we did our best here too.
04:50If you don't pay for a dress, in the end it would be considered as a loss to the store.
04:56Which is something I cannot allow.
05:01Look, I'm a customer.
05:03I was willing to try on and buy a dress I plan to wear on the most important day of my life.
05:08But I can't take the way you're clearly discriminating.
05:11Oh, I see.
05:13And you are going to come here, try on the dress, not pay for it and leave?
05:19And maybe even take the dress with you.
05:21Really?
05:22Is that how you imagine it?
05:25That I call you months in advance, ask you to make a dress for me, come here with the money, show your employee that I have it, and in the end I'm taking a dress off in the fitting room, rolling it up in my purse and running out of the store?
05:37If you say so, you know better what you were up to.
05:39I wasn't going to steal anything!
05:40All of you are potential thieves.
05:46All of you?
05:48What do you mean by all of you?
05:50Now you're not even trying to hide your racism anymore.
05:53Okay, I've got enough of your endless accusations, blah, blah, blah.
05:57I've got enough!
05:59You have two options, either way you just leave here immediately or I call police.
06:05I'm not going anywhere.
06:06You have nothing to accuse me of.
06:11Hello.
06:13Oh, yeah, it's Martin.
06:14I'm calling from Salud.
06:15Okay, fine. I'm leaving.
06:19I think we've got it all figured out.
06:22I'm sorry.
06:23And don't you ever dare to show up here again!
06:28What's going on?
06:30Mr. Scott!
06:31Mr. Scott!
06:32James?
06:36We are really sorry about the noise, but now everything is under control.
06:42This girl was going to steal a dress, but we have already dealt with this little thief.
06:47We won't let her in again.
06:49Yes, honey. Can you imagine?
06:52They won't let me in anymore.
06:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:55Can somebody explain to me why my bride didn't get her dress?
06:59And why are you saying nasty things about her?
07:03Right.
07:05But she didn't tell us that...
07:08Yes, dear.
07:10My skin color told them everything about me.
07:13They wouldn't let me try on a dress before buying it.
07:16They overpriced the dress out of the blue and then made a show of humiliating me as a customer and as a person.
07:22We didn't know your bride is coming today.
07:26I have no words to express how sorry I am, my dear.
07:31I created this wedding salon to help every girl feel special in anticipation for the biggest day in their lives.
07:40Back to your things.
07:42You're fired.
07:43I'm gonna make sure you're never gonna work in this city again.
