Erica Wiltz, a model based out of NYC, shared her negative experience with Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan as she waited to be helped while shopping for wedding shoes.

While shopping, Wiltz noticed that she was being pointedly ignored by the employees of the luxury store while they went around and helped everybody else who was there except for her.

Went to #saksfifthavenue excited to buy @jimmychoo wedding shoes & it turned out like this. #onblast #blackinamerica #racismawareness #nycshopping


The TikTok showed employees literally walking away from her while she waited for help, until she finally had to demand some help from an employee.

Wiltz was left in tears on her way out of the store.

Other black people shared their experiences being ignored in luxury retailers:

Wiltz posted a follow-up video in which she detailed exactly what happened due to the amount of invalidating comments she received.

Before receiving poor treatment, Wiltz said she'd always loved the store and had great experiences there.

Reply to @jfloresss01 I deserved equal treatment and didn’t get that. #saksfifthavenue #nycshopping #badcustomerservice #onblast #racismawareness

After waiting and waiting and being repeatedly ignored and walked away from by the white salesperson, she had to go into the back and demand help.

The man who helped her reportedly had a negative attitude while helping her the whole time, so much so that Wiltz ultimately decided not to buy the shoes from Saks at all and give him a sale.

Saks has yet to comment on the incident, but has likely lost a lot of customers due to their poor conduct on this matter.

Trump Gets Brutally Trolled With Old Mike Pence Posts After U.S. World Cup Defeat

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after Belgium knocked Team USA out of the World Cup after a 4–1 victory, with critics resurrecting jokes about former Vice President Mike Pence refusing to certify the 2020 election results.

The jokes are a response to Trump's role in the controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun's eligibility. Balogun had received a red card—the most severe penalty a player can receive on the field—against Bosnia and Herzegovina and was initially set to serve an automatic one-match suspension before FIFA overturned the ban.

Taylor Swift's Backup Dancer Divides Fans After Posting Photo Of Seemingly White Dress She Wore To Taylor And Travis' Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot, but despite being the talk of the town, some people are left talking about etiquette—namely, guests not wearing white to a wedding.

There are, of course, some situations where wearing white is appropriate or even expected, but in many cultures, the bride is expected to wear a white gown, and the guests are expected not to wear white or competing light colors, like cream, ivory, pale yellow, and pale pink, which might photograph as white.
