What would you have done differently? 🤔

[marvinjayne]

Cindy, HE was the one in the wrong. He has major issues. You did what any professional SA would do. I’m a gay man, and I love shopping at LV. I love it when SA’s ask me questions when I want their input…(although, like you, when I go to any luxury boutique, I know what I want), but sometimes it’s nice to have another persons perspective.
You did NOTHING wrong. He’s too sensitive for no reason.
I love your channel.

“Insecure people infer hostility where there is none.” You hit the nail on the head honey!! 🛎🛎🛎

Hey Cindy, I’m gay myself and I definitely think he was projecting. He might had another homophobic experience in another store recently or else he was just being a defensive asshole. I feel like in the 2000s, luxury was one space where gay men could really be open. I remember being a young teen back then and if I somehow wandered into a luxury store, it was often one of rare times I’d see gay men out and proud & seeming to be relaxed. I did come across some (very few) in our community, who look for homophobia where there isn’t none. I had ex friend who was jealous when I made other friends and would try twist everything into homophobia as an attempt to put me off them. Anyway, that’s another day story.

I am a gay man as well, I already know he was in the wrong. You are elegant and professional. One should carry themselves a certain way. I apologize for him. God Bless ✨❤️

[lornahill]

I think you were appropriate to ask his needs for using the product. He overreacted. You are not responsible for how others react. Thank you for sharing this situation. Love, Lorna ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! I stand and support you! As a gay man this is all too familiar. People can be so immature and project their insecurities and problems, your words totally resonate and are spot on! In the LGBTQIA+ community there is so much internalized hate/phobia. Lol a queen I know gave me a look of disgust when I wore my sparkly ankle boots lol! Keep the videos coming and stay golden! You didn’t do anything wrong, I have experienced some funny things before with retail people, back in the day I was in the closet and I asked the girl about this Coach coin purse and said it was strictly for girls and then later when I was in fashion school I bought this Givenchy wallet at duty free in Korea and the sales girl gasped in shock and said it was for girls and I was like, “so it’s okay, ” calmly and with a big smirk on face lol She carried on and went with the flow, but a man witnessed it and he was just as shook that I was into buying the women’s wallet at Givenchy lol!

He totally has hidden issues. You were very professional . Sounds like he was out to prove to himself. I buy “mens” clothing in boutiques and never felt I should feel offended and sales never made me feel different.

[fabulousirene]

I don’t think you did anything wrong. I totally understand where your question came from, you just wanted him to ensure that he purchased right size . But some people just very sensitive. Maybe you should tell him that this bag a lot of people love to use as luggage carry on bag and even use as every day bag. There are all type of customers, the safest way is don’t ask them questions and let them ask questions to the sale person 💕

[TBoettch]

You did nothing wrong. As a gay man i really would’ve just just “I’m just gunna use it as an everyday bag” girl you’re good 😊 its just his own issues he’s dealing with. I love your videos and these story times are my favorites to watch.

[Breonaleonard]

Haha I love the storytimes 😂 Btw you did nothing wrong. People who are insecure about a thing, they project HARD. It’s not your problem🤷🏽‍♀️.

[marcelamendoza]

I work in a all male Environment and I had a few men tell me I don’t belong in such place. My job is to stay home have kids clean and cook. It’s my own Mexican people that say. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I just tell him I bust my ass to get my money for I won’t have to depend on no man for money. My dad always told me work hard save your money and never depend on a man. And that’s what I do.

[sploucha]

I’m a gay man myself and I’m really puzzled as to how anything you said would evoke that type of a response. You did absolutely nothing wrong, he was somebody that was clearly looking to pick a fight. That type of visceral response comes from past trauma but it’s not ok to make someone else, much less somebody helping you out, the target of your rage over that trauma. You handled this perfectly. I can’t even imagine how I would’ve reacted if I was in your shoes.

[sinzianaromanescu]

Totally agree with insecure people! They can be So rude and Even evil sometimes. Have a nice day!

[scottiliciousmcfabulous]

I totally understand what he meant and what you meant. As a gay man myself, I get asked alot why I use handbags and “womens” attire and it can be really really offensive. And because this was awhile ago, he probably took offence to the question itself. “You using it for travel or everyday” he probably took it as “are you a boy that wears bags? 👁”. I appreciate how you handled the situation. Its not easy bag shopping sometimes but in all honesty he should have took a step back and thought about the question instead of being nasty.

[tas]

You didn’t do anything wrong! He was sensitive and just lashed out. It was a very appropriate question in that situation!

[anthonyd]

You asked a very standard question, I don’t think you did anything wrong. When your young like that in your early 20’s while still coming out to yourself, any little thing can set you off since your a little insecure finding your footing in a new identity. maybe you could have complimented him first on his selection or ask how he usually wears his bags to break the ice, but who knows 🤷‍♂️ I think you did your best and that’s what counts at the end of the day 🙂

[sarahivalle]

I work in retail and that's the exact question I would ask. He was in the wrong.

I had a guest go off on me because I didn't know he was blind! He was wearing sunglasses which is normal for some people and I just asked if he was ready to checkout. He didn't have that stick some blind people carry so I had no idea 🤷 I just apologized and did everything in my power to get him out of the store quickly.

[karan_karan_karan]

I INTERPRETED THIS a much different way. maybe he was making a joke out of himself? like sometimes I'm like "omg i look so cute in this bag! so gay, I'm obsessed" . like not in a mean way to myself?? idk... maybe he didn't read the room before?

[rodneyelson]

I’m only at the three minute point and your first question about use was totally appropriate. It’s a question a SA would ask any client regardless of gender. He had the issue. I’m a guy and use the Speedy 40 as my gym bag and I’m over 50.
