Old Navy Update #2

Hey Everyone!

Alright so if you have been following, you know that I have written about different experiences at one of the Old Navy (first post & second post) mostly being about the way their fitting rooms are set up.

Well I thought - why not do another update?? I have been asked to keep everyone in the loop by someone who commented about my last Old Navy update post so here I am.

This isn't going to be a huge ordeal type of update as there isn't really much to update. However, yesterday, I found that after going to multiple different Old Navy's over the last few months - that it's not just one Old Navy in particular that is a problem.

I have been to at least three different Old Navy's and each one had the same problem. Blocking the 2nd accessible fitting room with clothing racks and probably having it full of clothes. Lately, there has been one accessible fitting room open (which is better than what it once was when I first wrote about Old Navy).

And you're probably wondering - ok there is one open, what's the problem? Well the problem is that we need to have both accessible fitting rooms clear and open because what if there are two people in wheelchairs (or multiple people with disabilities) that need the room but there's only one? Because guess what - there can be more than one person with a disability shopping at the same place at the same time. (I mentioned this in the last post)

No only having the clearance of both rooms important but he usage of the fitting rooms. Again, I can not fit my chair by the mirror as there is a sitting bench in the way (see Old Navy update post for pictures and more on that). I'm sure that a little rearranging can be done to make things more accessible.

More accessibility = more customers.

So this update post is just to update that there is still one of the two accessible fitting rooms is still being blocked and not being able to be used. And that is NOT just at one Old Navy, it's at MOST of them (at least the ones I've been to) so I believe something needs to be brought up with the company leaders.

I think Old Navy should do an episode of Undercover Boss and the CEO (or whoever does it) takes a moment to focus on the fitting rooms and see if there's a "problem" during the filming of the episode.

I would definitely be willing to show or discuss with Old Navy's leaders ways on how they can make things better for all.

Again, thanks for reading and feel free to share and comment one what you think! (Also share the other two posts while you're at it.)

Until Next Time

Recommend You to Watch This Important Video!

Hey Everyone!

It's been awhile but I haven't known what to write in the last few weeks and I still don't but I saw a video that I wanted you all to watch (and share)!!!

I highly recommend you to watch it because it has a great message. A message that is for everyone to know about (unlike the last video I wrote about). It's one that should have millions of views but doesn't but let's help!

Check it out here:

everyone who took part in the making of video.

Message is very clear that I don't think I necessarily need to write what the message is. But if you're not 100% sure of what it is. Here are my thoughts: it's about including all even those who tend to be "different" than who you are. Inclusion. 

I enjoyed watching the video because it made people think. Because honestly it is what goes on. People stare at those who are different and have a chance of not including them in conversations. I liked that they turned this around so that it was a group of people in wheelchairs staring at someone who isn't in one.

It's a nice change and I'm hoping that this will start a conversation and possibly change the way people see wheelchairs or "different" people. 

Click that play button. Share the video. Show your friends and family. (You can go here, copy the link from your browser and then share it on your social media accounts) 

What did you think of the video? Do you like what the message says? Does it make you think about inclusion and how you act when you see someone who looks different?

Comment below your thoughts!

Until Next Time
