5 /5 Karan Bliss: I am extremely disappointed with the staff at Prouds Jewellery in Pakenham. My partner walked in to buy me diamond earrings for Christmas. He’s tall, bold, and was wearing his motorcycle gear, but instead of being treated with respect, they immediately demanded to see his ID before allowing him to even look at the earrings. They refused to accept his digital ID and insisted on seeing his physical drivers license.
He wasn’t allowed to touch the earrings at all. Interestingly, the day before, I had been in the store and was allowed to hold the earrings without being asked for any ID. This experience felt like discrimination, as they judged him based on his appearance. It’s a shameful display of bias by your staff.
Despite the treatment, he did end up purchasing the earrings, but this experience has left a very negative impression.
