A few years ago I went into an American Eagle store at a mall. (I think I had probably found some AE clothes at a TJ Maxx that fit me well, so I decided to try one of their stores.) When I found a couple pairs of jeans & saw that the dressing rooms were locked, I looked for a salesperson. A young man came to me and said, "Did you want to try those on? Or....did you say those are for your son?" Well, I was shopping alone & we had not spoken up to that point....so I said, "Yes, I'd like to try them on." I liked the fit & the look of the jeans, and when I went to pay for them a different salesperson (female this time) said, "OK, are these a gift?" Wtf???
No, I haven't been back to that store since, but I do enjoy shopping on the AE site now.
