I actually know the girl in this incident... I use to go to her high school. She's the very girly girl type so I'm kinda surprised that she fought back so valiantly. She is also very thin, this dude could have really hurt her in a matter of seconds (unless he himself was a weak frail dude which is most likely the case). What bugs me out is that she was with his boyfriend... I could only imagine how much heat he's going to catch from all the guys that know her.

I'm thinking about working at Macy's - anyone know their payscale? Is it really only $10-12?

I filed a complaint about the surly and absolutely useless sales associates in menswear, and the company couldn't care less. Sent me some generic response that they'll try harder. Yeah right. Why people shop there I do not understand.

For some reason, the dressing rooms at Bloomingdale's have a sort of mildewy stench...

Poor guy's life went totally downhill after leaving the Vikings. (My last attempt to post before I leave this site forever...)

It would be great if my post(s) could go through, please?

why does anyone even shop there anymore when there are better+cheaper places everywhere else? seriously. i NEVER find anything at macy's. and yeah, the employees are one step below useless.

The employees at Macy"s are the laziest in all of New York, especially on the reggaeton floor.

That girl is such a prude. I hate it when they don't put out.

Thanks Claire for the astute heads up on Macy's policy. It makes your job that much more secure to tell people why not to shop there.

OK, I was just at Macy's Herald Sq Juniors section and I tried on many dresses at 2 different dressing rooms on that floor: both had an attendant who ruled with an iron fist ("You can't stand there, that's a fire hazzard!" one shriekd at my mom) and both rooms had looooooong lines that snaked outside the dressing room area. Those lines are always freakin' long and especially at this time of year when prom, graduation, wedding and other special events require dressing up. So how did this guy get through and NO ONE noticed? Something doesn't sound right here at all...

Actually, I'm a white female, and I feel like the salespeople are aggressively anti-white women, that's what I meant by racist. I've had them try to help people in line behind me and I just get the worst attitude from them every time -- I stopped shopping there because of it. I worked retail a long time ago, so I'm a hyper-considerate customer, it's nothing I did, it's just a sucky attitude in that store. And yes, they are always socializing and avoiding customer contact.

Now I work at Macy's and I can tell you that we always have to be on the lookout for shoplifters - and they are invariably individuals of African descent. Even the security guys, who are all African-American, zero in on this particular segment of the population.

ohplease

"At some stores, attendants are generally running between the dressing rooms and the floor to help customers" Yeah well not at Macy's. Those lazy cows are too busy talking about going on a break, or who was at the porty or going to get their hair did. Whoever was on shift at that time should be fired. Straight up.

I don't condone what happened, but the Macy's dressing rooms are a great place to pick up chicks. The man just went a little too far (and too young).

"The terrified teen struggled with the perv and slammed the dressing room door against him to beat him off." silly girl. that's not how you beat him off. you take your hand, wrap it around... aahh, youth.

That people that work at that Macy's are so lazy, they couldn't be bothered to stroll past the dressing rooms. Half the time the employees are doing their own personal shopping -- it's nearly impossible to get anyone to help you there. They also seem pretty racist -- it's a really unpleasant experience on the whole.
