02:10 Wow, this is such an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing it with us. I love how Vanessa stood up for herself and created a more inclusive environment.
I enjoyed your story which alluded to many beneficial lessons. First: always stay calm under the piercing injustice of prejudice and bullying. Second: learn from past mistakes. Third: swallow your pride when you are exposed for wrongdoing. Fourth: show compassion and never seek retribution rashly.
Funny how this story wants to mirror what may happen in real world but in real world when fired manager first thing would be getting his set of master keys to the store and changing combination to the safe and making sure he takes no money from safe while in office getting personal items and codes for cameras and getting alarm codes changed!
In 1957 i was 14yrs , i was a MEXICAN farm migrant from TEXAS picking cotton in Missouri and ARKANSAS in BLYVILLE,ARK , my friend and me were thrown out of a clothing store. The manager grabbed by the arm threw me face down by the parking car space face down . The store and many other businesses didn’t allowed Indians,Mexicans or Blacks.
@@RDDean-y5w You know I don’t feel a grudge for what happened, at time just felt disappointed and laughed about it. During that time we got along, working together with Blacks, Natives and whites, also went through the middle of that protest in Little Rock. Lucky we didn’t get harmed, it was ugly.
@@RDDean-y5w By the way at time didn’t even think about suing any way you never win. I am retired just living on social security and disabled but thank GOD for all my family our Breath of life and daily Bread, i hope you all doing well 🙏🤲✝️
I enjoy the story and the idea of excepting people as they are and improving customers relationships in welcoming the customer as they are and no judgment whatsoever is always great to feel welcome to be comfortable environments and having customers being welcome in the store of no judgment
I read your story with interest, and am compelled to comment. Vanessa is described as an intellegent investor. My thoughts were that she had obviously done her due diligence and decided to buy this successful, high end, haute coture, exclusive store. It is HIGHLY unlikely she would make imediate changes to turn it into a target, or (lowering my voice to a whisper, a Walmart). No, she would have let that store do what it was good at, and cater to the crowd that consider theselves the elite. Vanessa's goal, as an astute business woman, is to make money, not fix social inequality.
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! As a black businesswoman, I can tell you that her desire to make money is high, but her willingness to accept disrespect is low! As a business owner, you try to cultivate talent and mentor people, but you do not allow cancer to stay and spread! You can make MORE money by treating people with respect! Do you know how many sales some stores miss out on by being disrespectful to customers that don't look the part? I've personally had this experience. I was in Chicago on the Gold Mile. I had on sweats, and I left my hotel to grab a gift for a relative. I went into a particular high-end store and was treated just like this woman. I didn't own the store, so I just left and went to another store that treated me well. The store I went to made a five-figure sale and the store I left lost that sale! It wouldn't have hurt them to treat me better, but they didn't and they lost money because of it. Treating me with respect wouldn't have turned the place into "Walmart", but it did cause them to make less money! So many rich and wealthy people, like me, don't always wear suits everywhere we go! Sometimes we dress down and when you walk into a store and have someone treat you poorly, you vote with your dollars and leave. Truthfully, many high-end stores allow you to make reservations if you're rich or wealthy, but when you walk in that door, if you aren't treated well, you leave - no matter how much money you have. So, you can buy a business because you see the potential in it and realize that if you change some things, the store could make even more!

There has always been something in my mind when it comes to discrimination of color, my question has always been, if you discriminate some one on their color, why do people go to the beach to get a sun tan?????? get it!

Thank you for pronouncing 'unreadable' correctly. Change IS possible.

Then don't listen

Nope...the racist keep racism alive...I'm so glad it doesn't affect you
Am I the only one who wants to fast forward these? They seriously need to be condensed. Reader’s Digest Version would be much better!
