Just a funny story that I want to share to you guys. So this evening before going home I took the bus to go to my favorite donut place. The temperature was 10 degrees fahrenheit and the bus was arriving in 10 minutes so I waited inside Crate & Barrel near the entrance. A girl carrying a large Barneys shopping bag slung to her shoulders joined me in waiting for the bus. She was using her cellphone and I couldn't help but listen to her conversation.

So the girl was talking to her co worker at Barneys about what took place at their workplace this afternoon and that she was watching over this particular customer who seemed suspicious because he was browsing at $1k sweatshirts from the brand Off White. And that he looked like he was gonna do a grab and go. The girl said she was about to call security but when another co worker greeted the guy she didn't call. After the suspicious guy left and purchased the Off White sweatshirts, she then told her story to her co worker and the coworker told her that the guy is Kris Dunn, a Chicago Bulls player.

So this part is when the story gets beefy, so while we were waiting for the bus, I noticed her looking at my Malachite Evelyne. And there's always gonna be those types of people who can't be happy for others, you know those jelly types with the rolling of the eyes and then a quick turn of the head. The bus arrived and being the gentleman that I am, I let her out the door first and let her in the bus first. So while she went in the bus first, she decided to stand next to the bus driver and looked at me with her eyes bulging pointing at the bus card swiper so she wanted me to pay first and I don't understand why because she's also blocking my way to take a seat. So after I swiped my card, before I can get in, she makes a move and swings her big Barneys shopping bag and with it's sharp corner tries to gorge my beloved Evie. Luckily, I was carrying a plastic bag containing a down jacket I bought for my brother and used it to block against her Barneys bag and prevented any scratches from my Evie. The way she swung her bag looked like she purposely wants to scratch my bag, but having encountered similar scenarios, I knew what to do and my judgement on her was spot on. She was DEFLECTED.

So the racial profiling wasn’t beefy enough? I am so sorry to hear this. I carry a nice bag almost all the time and this has never happened to me. I’ve heard stories, only here on tpf though tbh, of strangers trying to damage their bags. I take the bus too! Which city was this if you don’t mind me asking?

Wow what a b***h!! As if the racial profiling wasn't enough, she had to be rude to you too. Clearly she got issues.

Also just another thing to point out, Barneys is known to have problematic workers. They've racially profiled customers in their store in my city a few times and were blasted by the news for doing it. They've faced some law suits as a result of it too. I avoid going there as much as possible but when I do have to I remain emotionally and mentally prepared for a rude SA lol

That’s appalling. I’m glad you and your bag are alright. X
