Edgars treat their customers like *********

I had the most horrible experience at Edgars Westgate yesterday. And because of that, from having my parents buying clothes for me from Edgards stores as a baby, to me carrying on that brand loyalty into my adult life, I'm cutting ties with all Edcon affiliated stores.

I bought R3000 worth of clothing from Edgars Westgate yesterday afternoon, only to be told by security as I was exiting the premises that they had been instructed by management to do a full body search and strip of me in one of the changing rooms because I had been suspected of *****ing. The reason for this was that I had spent too long in the store and made too many trips to the fitting rooms, and spent too much time in there as well. Of course I spent long in the store, I was shopping! I like to take my time. Since when is that a crime? I have never been and felt so humiliated in my life. Everyone in the store was looking at me as I was dragged by security, judging me like I was some ********, when I have never ****** a thing in my life! That was totally uncalled for and unacceptable. After that humiliating stint in the change rooms, I went straight to accounts and returned my purchases for a refund.

After 8 years of making purchases at Edgars Westgate, that was my last visit to that store and any Edcon affiliated brand going forward. I refuse to support an establishment that treats paying customers like they are *******.
