2013- Turkey, I entered a designers shop to get something and I experienced something awkwardly silly...

You see, the moment I entered, two staff started following me around everywhere I went in that shop (that's not the norm in the shop) ... and not like they were trying to assist me, because they kept their distance, but everywhere I entered, these guys followed. I smiled to myself because I knew what was going on.

I decided since na dem start the drama, no wahala we go act this drama fully... I picked some very expensive items and quickly walked directly to "my followers", gave them to hold and beckoned at them to follow me, this surprised them, so instead they walked away and I noticed shortly after, a new set of "followers" started trailing me again.

Long story short, I walked to the counter and told them my items were with "my escorts" and I would like to pay, (this was alot of money), I removed Dollars and started counting in their face, of course when they saw I had bought out money, it seemed they at the counter started asking who followed me... at that point I kept a poker face and was looking at them, waiting for "my escorts" to bring the items... they got confused for a bit and by the time they could fully gather what I meant (because their English was limited), I put my money in my pocket and walked out... as I was walking out, they were calling me back to come back... mtcheew nawnsense.

This is a real story?

If it is, it's wild!

I don't know if they still do it nowadays (maybe not because of Camera's), but back in the day a couple of shops in Istanbul always had "watchmen" assigned to specifically Africans who walked in...

What a world!

Always looking in the wrong direction for the real thieves.

Is everything OK at home? You sound frustrated.
I don't know what you are passing through right now but you won't escape it

The King of Kings, The Lord of Lords. What did the OP post that's making you ask if everything is ok at home? I have been searching for the post, I couldn't find it.

Pls, point me to it. Maybe I missed it.
