As I did my thesis worksheet I was thinking based on my argument, what would be a good counterargument. Seeing how I was basing my argument on the way people are treated by others in certain places where they I guess you can say "don't belong", for example high class stores. From the observations of the experiment my group and I made, people that don't quite look the part are not really welcomed in these high class stores. I observed many rude and at times obvious actions made by the store employees which was offense, because just because my clothes wasn't fancy and I was a teen, did not quite mean I was not able to afford the products or was already a loyal costumer. Wondering what the employees would say to excuse their actions I asked y sister to put herself in their shoes and tell me what she would say if asked a question like mine. Her opinion was real helpful and allowed me to come up with pretty good reasons which could help me have a none bias argument as well as make it stronger. I believe they would possibly give an answer like, as a designer store our top priority here is to protect our store products and reputation, causing us to be completely aware of all customers. Although from experience we can tel which costumer is truly going to purchase a product or just glance around the store, so we put more effort into those that will benefit the store. I think they can also come up with the fact that people are coming in the store with the mentality that they are out of place and because of that they will be treated different, so any little motion causes them to believe that they actually are being treated different. There could possibly be more reasons then these but so far those two are my strongest counterarguments, although I hope as I go along working with the essay I'll be able to come up with better ideas.
