On May 1 of 2009 at 4:30pm, I visited an Avon retail store in Bloomington Illinois (Close to Veterans Parkway). The individual who attended us in the store had a really bad attitude. From the moment the first question was asked to the moment we left, she was real rude. Profiling my friend and I by color of our skin and accent. It started with her answers, yelling at us as if we didn't speak the language and continued screaming everytime we had a question. We left store since the attendant began harassing us as if we didn't know how to read the signs posted next to the products. We had enough of her and the store when she repeately behave like a child and treated us just like you treat a person of another race in the 50's. I would hope that your company would hire better personnel to run their stores. Based on this experience, I'm not sure I'm willing to buy Avon products. In bried moment, this kind of employee has tarnished Avon reputation and due to her action lost several customers.
