00:03Excuse me, I was wondering if you had this in a smaller size.
00:07You know what? We actually keep these in a special part of the store. I'll take you to it, huh?
00:11Awesome, thank you so much. No problem, just doing my job.
00:14Great.
00:38Hey, pretty loud over here, Becky. You dropping something?
00:42Oh, just a couple of coins. It must have slipped in my hands.
00:47Uh-huh, yeah. Funny how that happens when you open the register, huh?
00:56Look, I just saw you put some coins into your pocket.
01:01Come on, Mark. It's just a few cents. No one's gonna miss it.
01:05Maybe not, but that's not the point, is it? I mean, we're supposed to be running a business here, Becky,
01:11not running side hustles.
01:14Oh, lighten up, Mr. Perfect. It's not like I'm robbing a bank. Just making up for what they don't pay
01:21us.
01:23Becky, you're better than this. I mean, if management finds out, it's not gonna end well. I'm saying this as
01:30your friend.
01:32You don't get it, Mark. Not everyone can afford to be like goody-two-shoes. Some of us need to
01:38find ways to get by.
01:41I get it, Becky. I really do. But this... this isn't the way. Just think about it, okay?
01:50Yeah, whatever. I'll think about it.
01:56Yeah, I think this one's nice.
01:58Oh, hey there. Um, did you find everything you needed today?
02:03I'm just gonna take this one piece.
02:05Great.
02:11Actually, um, this might be a strange question, but I was wondering, do you actually enjoy working here?
02:20Um, yeah. I guess. I mean, it's your job, right?
02:26Well, it seems like you've got a pretty laxed approach here on your phone and stuff. I was just wondering.
02:34Well, you know, you gotta keep things chill. No need to stress out over folding shirts.
02:41Becky, maybe you should focus on the customer. It's kind of our job after all.
02:45Yep. Yeah, I got it, Mark. No need to babysit me.
02:50I think he's just trying to make sure the customer has a good experience.
02:55It's actually nice to see someone take pride in their work.
03:00Sure. Sure. We all have our different styles, I guess.
03:08Okay, lady. That's going to be $29.
03:12Alright, $29. Let's see here. Um, alright.
03:30Here we go.
03:31Hey, uh, Becky? Wait, I think you miscounted the change. Let me fix that.
03:35What? No, I didn't. It's fine.
03:41Hey, I'm sorry, ma'am.
03:48Mistakes happen, Becky. Okay? It's better to fix them right away.
03:52Yeah. Sure.
03:54Thank you, Mark.
03:57Thank you for, um, your honesty. It's absolutely refreshing.
04:03Trying to do my job, ma'am.
04:04Oh, and I appreciate that so much.
04:07Um, well, thank you. I hope you enjoy your shift.
04:23Excuse me. Sorry to bother you so close to closing, but I forgot to pick up something really important. I
04:31need a blazer for a really big meeting tomorrow.
04:34Oh, yeah. Sure. It's somewhere over there. Help yourself.
04:41Okay.
04:42Good evening, ma'am. Back again, I see. What can I help you find?
04:46Yes, I completely forgot I needed to pick up a blazer for a really important meeting. Do you think you
04:52could help me find one?
04:54Absolutely. We have a few styles that you might love. Perfect for you. Let's go.
04:59Follow me.
05:02Okay, um, oh, here we go. How about this one? Nice clean look, very professional, very good for a meeting.
05:11Oh, I think it's perfect, Mark. Thank you so much. Absolutely. My pleasure. Let's get you set up at the
05:18register, huh?
05:19Alright. Oh, I love it. I think I found the blazer I wanted. Alrighty, let's ring it up. Awesome. Oh,
05:33that would be 75. And by the way, the card machine is down, so you need to pay in cash.
05:41That's strange. I just saw you using the card machine earlier and it was fine. Are you sure it's down?
05:48Um, yeah. It was acting up earlier. Sometimes it does that, you know, close to the closing time. You know
05:56how it is.
05:58Alright, but, um, 75? That seems a little bit high for this blazer. Could you just double check the price
06:06for me?
06:08Yeah, sure.
06:11But that's what the system says, so, um...
06:15Hey, uh, excuse me. Becky, mind if I take a look?
06:19Sure. But it's fine. I already checked it.
06:24Yeah, let's just be sure, right? It's only gonna take a second.
06:31Blazer's actually $60. I'm not sure why. It was entered in at 75.
06:39I must have made a mistake. You know, at the end of the day, um, things get a little hectic.
06:47That's not a mistake, Becky. That's deliberate. And I happen to know that the credit card machine isn't down either.
06:55Now, before you say anything else, let me just introduce myself.
07:00I'm Natasha Reynolds, the CEO of this store chain. And I came here today because I've been receiving complaints.
07:07And I wanted to see for myself what exactly was happening here.
07:11Wait, wait, wait. I can explain. It was just, it was just a little mistake. I swear.
07:17No, no, no. That's the problem. It wasn't a mistake. You've been stealing from customers.
07:24And tonight, you tried to steal from me. That's not acceptable. It's actually very unacceptable.
07:33And I will not tolerate it. I'm sorry, Becky. But you're fired. Effective immediately.
07:40Fine. Whatever. This place sucks anyways.
07:50Thanks for stepping in, Mark. Your honesty and professionalism didn't go unnoticed. And I so appreciate it.
07:56It's doing my job, ma'am. Thank you.
07:59And you're doing it very well. Have a good night, Mark. And I'll see you soon.
08:05Looks like a raise is coming your way.
08:18Excuse me. Excuse me. Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi. Welcome. How can I help you?
08:27Yes. Do you have this dress in pink? My fiance has taken me to dinner in a couple of weeks.
08:33And I must find a dress to fit the occasion.
08:38Sorry?
08:40Do you have this dress in pink? Don't you understand English?
08:46Yes, I do. You just spoke so fast.
08:49Excuse me. Don't you dare talk to me like that.
08:53I'm sorry. I was just trying to tell you.
08:56Look, lady, I don't need your sob story. Do you have this dress in pink or not?
09:03I don't know. I can go to the back and check.
09:06My fiance will be here at any moment and he needs to see me in this dress.
09:12I guess this is just gonna have to do.
09:23Anna?
09:25Oh, Mr. Justin.
09:28Anna, I told you it's just Justin.
09:30Are you okay?
09:32What happened? You look upset.
09:34It's nothing.
09:36I just made a customer very angry.
09:39I'm sure that had nothing to do with you.
09:42What happened?
09:43Well, I was trying to tell her that...
09:46Honey!
09:47Is this lady bothering you too?
09:49Allison!
09:49You have no idea.
09:51I asked her a simple question and she couldn't even help me.
09:54Why would stores hire people who can barely speak English?
09:58But anyways, what do you think about this dress?
10:02Anna, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?
10:04I'm fine. Thank you, Justin.
10:07Oh, wait a minute. You two know each other?
10:09Yes, Anna's one of my clients.
10:11One of my favorite clients, as a matter of fact.
10:14Clients? How can she afford you?
10:16Allison, you know I do pro bono work, especially when it comes to immigration.
10:21Wait a second. So you're helping her?
10:24Yes. I make it my mission to help those who want to come to our country for a better life.
10:29My parents emigrated here before I was born so that I could live a life that they only dreamed of
10:36living.
10:36Right? They worked hard. They suffered constant cruelty so that I could have an amazing life.
10:42They put me through college. They put me through law school.
10:45And after everything they've been through, I vowed that I would help those who followed my parents' dream.
10:52Wow, I didn't know that about you, Justin. Maybe we can talk a little more about this on our flight
10:58to Paris.
11:00I think Paris is over.
11:03Over? But, what do you mean over?
11:05As is the wedding.
11:08What?
11:09Allison, Allison, I can't marry someone that talks to people the way you just spoke to Anna. I don't care
11:14where they're from.
11:17I'm sorry, Allison.
11:20I'm sorry as well.
11:22Thank you, Justin.
11:25Alright. So, I'll see you at my office tomorrow. And next week, you should be an American citizen.
11:31Allison.
11:31Thank you so much.
11:34That's just it.
11:37Goodbye, Allison.
11:43What just happened?
11:51Nice place.
12:03Hi. Can I help you with something?
12:06Oh, no. Thank you. Just looking around.
12:08Are you sure?
12:09We have a lot of high-end items here. You might need some assistance.
12:14I appreciate it, but I'm good. I'm just browsing for now.
12:18Browsing, huh? Well, let me know if you need anything.
12:23But, you know, we don't, um, we don't usually get, um, your type of people in here.
12:32Oh, I see. Well, I'm just interested in seeing what you have, so.
12:36Right. Just a heads up.
12:38You know, we have some pretty expensive stuff, so not everyone can afford it.
12:44You know, especially some people.
12:48Um, okay. I'll keep that in mind.
12:51Good. Good, good, good, good. I wouldn't want any, um, misunderstandings.
12:57Oh, this is nuts.
12:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy. Right there, please.
13:02We like to keep the merchandise in, like, pristine condition.
13:07Man, I'm just looking at the fabric.
13:08Yes, um, but, um, we have a policy.
13:13If you want a touch, you need to, um, um, prepay.
13:17That's quite unusual. I've never heard of that before.
13:20Well, it's our policy. I mean, you know, we can't, we can't risk any damages, you know.
13:26I mean, certain types of people might not be so careful.
13:29That's an interesting policy. Does it apply to everyone?
13:32Let's just say we have to be extra careful with some folks.
13:37You know, you understand, right?
13:40I think I do.
13:41Oh, listen, listen.
13:43Don't take it personally.
13:45It's just business.
13:47You know, we're a very, um, high-end store.
13:49Our clientele expects a certain level of, um, exclusivity.
13:54Mmm, okay.
13:56Well, I understand. I'll just keep looking around.
13:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do that.
14:00And, uh, and remember, if you want to try something on, or if you want to even touch it,
14:07you will need to prepay. It's, uh, it's for everyone's benefit.
14:11Got it. Thanks for the heads up.
14:14You are welcome.
14:26I mean, cut around and...
14:31No, no, no. Seriously? Seriously? We have rules, okay?
14:35No touching, no touching, no touching, okay?
14:37This one is particularly expensive.
14:39Sir, I was just appreciating the craftsmanship.
14:41Uh, the craftsmanship. Mm-hmm, yeah, well.
14:45Let's keep the appreciation to a minimum, okay?
14:49Unless you're ready to make that payment.
14:51Understood.
14:52Great!
14:53I'm glad we understand each other.
14:55You know, it's just, um, some people might not realize the value of what they're handling, you know?
15:02And by some people...
15:03Hey, hey, hey!
15:05I'm just speaking generally. I don't want any trouble, mister, okay?
15:10Neither do I. Again, I'm just here to look around.
15:13Good, good, good, good. Just make sure you, um, follow the rules.
15:18Noted.
15:19You know, if you're serious about buying something, I can help you find something within your budget.
15:25You know, five, ten bucks maybe might save you some time.
15:28Hm.
15:29Ah, you're so helpful. I truly appreciate it, but I think I'll just keep looking on my own.
15:33Suit yourself.
15:36Just remember what I said about our policies.
15:47I'm sorry.
15:48No, no, no, no, no, no. I cannot let you try that on without a prepayment. We cannot risk it.
15:54A prepayment? Why does this policy only apply to me?
15:56It's just the way we do things around here, okay? If you do not like it, you can shop somewhere
16:02else.
16:02I don't understand, okay? I've shopped in high-end stores before, and I've never heard this kind of policy.
16:07Okay, well, maybe those other stores aren't as high-end as we are, all right? We have to protect our
16:13merchandise. It's really valuable stuff.
16:18So you're saying that everyone who tries on clothes here has to prepay?
16:23That's right. We have to be very careful. Some people just can't be trusted to handle expensive things.
16:30And by some people you mean...
16:32I, look, man, I'm not trying to be difficult. It is just the rules. You can take it up with
16:38the management if you have a problem.
16:41That's interesting. I'd like to see a copy of this policy. Is it posted somewhere?
16:46It's more of an unspoken rule, okay? You know, for the sake of the store's reputation and the safety of
16:53our merchandise. Got it?
16:54Unspoken rules sounds a bit arbitrary, don't you think?
16:59Look, man, if you cannot afford to prepay, maybe this isn't the right store for you.
17:07There are plenty of other stores where you can shop.
17:11It's not about affording it. It's about being treated fairly and equally as a customer.
17:16Fair and equal, huh? Well, let me tell you, my friend, life ain't fair, okay?
17:22We all have to deal with our little issues, okay?
17:26Yeah, but that's not my issue. See, I agree that life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean that we should
17:31just tolerate unfair treatment.
17:33You keep saying that, but I'm just doing my job protecting the store's interests.
17:39By treating customers differently based on your own assumptions.
17:42Oh, God, call it whatever you want, okay? We have to protect our merchandise from potential risks.
17:48So you see me as potential risks?
17:50Man, look, I don't know you, okay? I'm just being cautious. We have expensive stuff here.
17:56I understand the need for caution, that's why you get insurance, but this seems excessive and discriminatory.
18:00Look, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? I am just doing what I was told to do.
18:07And who told you to implement this policy?
18:11Excuse me, ma'am. Did you have to prepay to use the fitting room?
18:15No, I didn't. Why do you ask?
18:17Oh, interesting, because Tyler here insists that I need to prepay before trying anything on.
18:22That doesn't sound right. I've never had to do that.
18:25Exactly!
18:26Okay, it's because she's a regular customer. We know her, and we trust her.
18:31This is my first time shopping here, and I've never heard of such a rule. I think everyone should be
18:35treated the same.
18:36Well, isn't that a coinkydink? That's exactly what I'm asking for. Fair and equal treatment.
18:42Okay, okay. Now, you, thank you very much. Miss, you can get out now.
18:49All right.
18:50This is getting blown out of proportion, okay? If you want to try something on, you need to prepay for
18:55it. It is the end of the story.
18:58I think that I'll stay, and I could try on this shirt without prepaying.
19:03Look, I'm just trying to save you some time and some trouble, okay? These clothes are expensive. Look, and not
19:10everyone can afford them. I mean, no offense, but, you know, you might want to check out some other stores
19:17that are maybe more accessible. There's a dollar store right down the street.
19:21Oh, thank you so much looking out for me by telling me I don't belong here. Appreciate it.
19:26No, by being honest. Not everyone can shop in stores like this.
19:33And you've decided that I can.
19:36Look, my friend, it's not personal. It's just business.
19:41Business that involves discriminating against customers.
19:44No, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Time out. Time out. Discriminating, that is a very big
19:49word. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.
19:51It's the right word, okay? You're judging me based on my appearance and making assumptions about my financial status.
19:58Man, look, you're taking this all wrong, okay? I'm just trying to help.
20:04Help by implying that I can't afford to shop here?
20:07Look, I am sorry if I offended you, you know, but I have to follow the rules.
20:16Rules that seem to change depending on who walks in and out the door and what color they are.
20:20It is not like that.
20:21Then what is it like? Explain it to me because I'm confused.
20:23It's just the way things are, okay?
20:26Mmm, the way things are or the way you wish them to be.
20:29Man, you're making this much more complicated than it needs to be. Why do you people always do that?
20:34You people, no. No, I'm making a point. A point about fairness and respect.
20:39I respect all of my customers.
20:41Really? Because it doesn't feel that way. Hmm. Actually, I'd like to speak to the manager about your behavior.
20:50Mark Thompson? Well, I didn't realize.
20:56Yeah, I'm the new owner of this store. I came in a day just to see how my customers are
21:00treated,
21:00how the customer service was here, and I'm extremely disappointed about what I've witnessed.
21:07I didn't know. I mean, this was a total misunderstanding.
21:11Was it? Because it seemed pretty clear earlier.
21:14No, no, no. I didn't mean anything by it. I mean, I'm just following the rules.
21:18What rules? What rules? Rules that you made up or rules that justify your behavior? Which one?
21:23I swear. I swear. I swear. I was just doing my job.
21:27Your job is to treat every customer with respect and courteousness, regardless of how they look.
21:33Look. Look, I'm really sorry. Please. It will not happen again.
21:42No. It won't. Because your employment here is terminated. Effective immediately.
21:48No, no, no. Come on. Please. Please give me another chance. I can do better. I promise.
21:53Yeah, we need staff who respect and value every customer.
21:56Look, I can change, okay? Just one more chance.
22:01I'm afraid it's too late for that, friend.
22:02This is so unfair!
22:07Life is unfair.
22:10Ah. Looks like this place needs more work than I thought.
22:16I love it.
22:17I love it.
22:17I love it.
