1 /5 Robyn Sharpe: My daughter and I experienced racial profiling at this store today the first of the year. There was a young Caucasian lady folding clothes when we entered and an African American by the cash register. The Caucasian young lady kept following my daughter and I around and I even tested to see if that was what she was doing. At the end of my daughter’s purchase I proceeded back to the back of the store to see if she would leave what she was doing to come behind us and she did and immediately as we walked back up she followed. The worst part of it was that while following us around there were other people in the store all caucasians and she didn’t even paid them any mind. I was so disturbed but as this is January 1st, 2026 I held my tongue and my peace and got out. I do feel like I will return the things my daughter purchased. What kind of sick disgusting action was that?! I will certainly not go back there to make a purchase, and I wouldn’t mind at all if all African Americans start boycotting this store and all American Eagle stores because of such discrimination. I was really upset believe me because here I am with my child minding our own business of trying to make a selection to purchase and we couldn’t do it without racial harassment by that staff. I’m a big woman and she the Caucasian young lady was clearly a child for me I don’t know what in the world could have made her brain so defective other than hate. I get it people shoplift but can you people find better ways to identify shoplifters because you clearly got it very wrong today. So disrespectful! An experience like this is all the more reason for me to want to leave America. Not kool American Eagle not cool at all. I wish I had gotten her name I would put it in this post. Disgusting!
