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.
