Last week on my lunch break I went into Blush Boutique Co on 8th st on Thursday, July 24 to shop around. I was looking to purchase something for my sister and my mom. This was my first time entering this store. I looked around and wondered through the store and I took some photos of some dresses I thought my sister would like, the lady who I became aware was the owner comes up to me and asks me why I had taken photos? That she always wonders why her costumers take photos. I responded with that I was just sending them to my family. She then returns to go into the back of the store to continue doing whatever she was doing. Which I thought the asking of that question was odd but I just brushed it off. I saw this golden pens that had a diamond on the top and it catches my eye. I grabbed one out of the cup and held in my hand because I was going to buy it but was waiting for the employee to return to the cashier to attend me, but she was in the back and I grew impatient and left the store, but before leaving I made sure to return the pen. (note that there were other people there too). Friday, August 2, I entered the store on my lunch break to essentially buy the same pen, because I thought it would be cute and fun to have. When I enter the store, there was a customer and an employee by the register which is where the pens do I walk around the store to wait for the customer to leave so I can buy a pen. I walked around the store to find the men section and while scouting through the shirts I find one that I liked and then the employee comes up to me and asked if I wanted to try it on, for which I replied with yes. I go into the dresser and tried it on and when I come out the same employee comes up to me and asks if I was in the store last week. I told her yes and then she proceeds to ask if they can check my fanny pack. I had a silent but confused reaction, she went onto explain that there was a pen missing and the owner thought that I had stolen it. My head went all over the place. Why would they accuse.me of stealing a pen without any evidence? I told the employee that I had not taken a pen. This person wasn't really assuring me. I hand her my bag and she asked me to open it for her, she looks inside and returns it. I continue to stay in the store and then I overhear that the same employee stepping out of the store, but I hear her talking on the phone with whom I assume is the owner, before she could walk out I hear, "Hey, the person is here ..." and in my mind I was like no way, are they really racially-profiling/discriminating against me? This was my first time encountering a situation in Greeley where I have grown up in. My first time where someone assumed I stole something base of the color of my skin and the race the I am. I stay enough to have the employee walk back into the store to ask her what is happening? She explains to me that there was pen missing and they assumed that it was me, and she told me that they have yet to check the security feed and that the pen could've been their fault because it could’ve have fallen somewhere. At this point I was done, I was mad and humiliated to find out that in the first interaction with me they assume that I was there to steal and it just made me uncomfortable to be with the toxic environment, so I told her again that I did not steal any pen. I told her that came back because I wanted to buy a pen and the employee asked if I still wanted to buy the pen, for which I said no and left the store. I will NEVER EVER EVER! go into a Blush Boutique ever again because of this awful, toxic and humiliating experience. I don’t recommend...
Read moreBlush Boutique is easily my favorite store in the world. It is absolutely beautiful, unique, and serene inside, and I always feel myself relax moments after stepping through the door. The owner takes pride in the Blush feeling like it belongs to the community, and you can tell by the way she features local artists/designers, sells Greeley merchandise, and provides a children's area for Mommas who just want to relax and shop for a moment. There is something for everyone at Blush from fashion, home decor, and bath & body. What truly sets it apart for me though, is the way I always feel so welcomed and appreciated as a customer. I have been prayed over, encouraged, and appreciated as a customer each time I've shopped. It is truly a special experience to shop at Blush and I feel absolutely confident that anyone who does so will leave considering it there new...
