“I don’t think that it’s wrong of me to want to go thrifting without having to engage with random men,” she explained.
Thankfully, another female customer had seen her distressed and asked if she needed help. When she explained that she thought the angry man who had just entered the store was looking for her, the customer pointed her towards the dressing rooms, where she went to hide.
She called her boyfriend while anxiously waiting in the dressing rooms and asked him to meet her there and take her home.
Finally, after waiting in tears, she heard a knock on the dressing room door and was greeted by the woman who had helped her earlier. The woman had alerted a manager, and they kept an eye on the angry man.
Apparently, after looking through the aisles for a while, he abruptly grabbed his things and left the store.
To keep her safe and calm, the Goodwill employees closed the dressing rooms to other customers until her boyfriend arrived. Then, a male employee escorted her straight to her boyfriend’s car. What a great staff of people! She was able to make it home safely without anything terrible happening.
“It was an unsettling experience,” she recalled. “I hate to think of the possible confrontation we might’ve had if he’d found me. I am just so thankful to the Goodwill employees and the kind woman who helped me that day.”
