Peper Apparel & Parlor Shoes

"Friendly staff with great taste and styling advice. I always have a great shopping experience here - I can pick up something that I do not normally wear and find a new style for myself."

"Honestly, I was really second guessing leaving a review mostly because me and my friends just wanted to let the situation go but I just feel like I HAVE to say something. So, my friends and I (about 4-5 people) walked inside and the workers seemed very nice. We greeted each other and began to look around. Keep in mind we’re teenagers, we aren’t rowdy or anything, we were in fact very respectful of this store because everything looked very vintage. My friends and I exited the store after 5 minutes of looking around and the lady at the front said “Have a nice day” and we said it back. My friend then told me how she was staring at us the whole time as if we were going to do something bad. Now keep in mind, my group of friends do not look scary, in fact we were dressed up because we were celebrating our last day of school and graduation. So, as we were standing outside the store for a few seconds before deciding where to go next, when this customer, who had entered the store as we were leaving, stopped us and said that when she walked into the store the workers had said that we were acting “conceited” because “we were on our phones.” We we’re all confused because we didn’t know if she was lying or not. So we looked at the workers through the window and they were rolling their eyes, pointing as us and making us very uncomfortable. Now, to us, using a phone is not disrespectful because everyone checks their phone like 100 times a day. I didn’t realize that using a phone can be viewed as “disrespectful” and make someone look “conceited”. So, I don’t know if it’s because of our age, or the fact that the workers are white, and myself and my friends are hispanic/ middle eastern but this needed to be said because of the issues going on in the world right now. I am incredibly disappointed in the workers and I am glad that the lady who informed us about them, told us. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone because everyone single person deserves respect, no matter who they are and what they look like."
