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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
