Hey guys! Question about what to do with this interaction at my store. I don't want to make a mountain out of a mohill but it 100% made me feel defeated and disrespected. I'm a senior tl in my store. I've been wearing recently a darker red merona cardigan, completely in the same color scheme of what I've seen at my store before. Today right when I got on the floor I went up to my etl-ge and etl-salesfloor to checked in. They were at the front lanes helping watch and another team member was waiting there with them to talk to etl-salesfloor aka lod on what to do today. When I approached them I was met with this.....
Etl-Sf "*name* is that red?"
Etl-ge "I think it's maroon"
Sf "I agree I think we need to reset the expectations of target red"
Me "well I'm sorry I guess I've just never been appraised before....."
Sf "*name* that's not red, that's maroon. This is red". *points to self who's wearing a red vest with a blue dress shirt*
I completely didn't know what to say after that so I just said ok and walked away. I feel very upset about this. For one thing it's something I've worn 10,000 times before and I feel is business casual red and I've seen other team members wearing this color. For second it was right on the middle of the sales floor, with a team member watching the whole thing. I feel completely embarrassed and confused. Can I wear it again? Should I not? I have no problem being challenged on dress code but in front of a team member? I deserve more respect than that.
