When you use an adjustment room to try clothes, you expect your private life to be respected. However, a Ross buyer now says that this may not be the case.

"Invasion of the intimacy period!" One commentator wrote, while another feared never check or noticed something like that.
"OMG, I never looked up in an adjustment room," reads a comment.
A tiktker said the police should be contacted, saying that the practice was illegal.
"The collective appeal is incoming," said a comment, while another added, "they cannot have cameras in sight or inside a wardrobe / bathroom. It is a trial. ""
Whatever the legality, some buyers said that the video made them suspicious of using the adjustment rooms in general.
"Never again trying clothes in stores, I'm already too paranoid, it's time to cut it. Healthy borders," reads a comment.
Another Tiktker added: "That's why I prefer clothes at home and turn it over."

Some commentators were not as worried.
Others were less convinced that the cameras were in fact pointed out on the locker room.
"The camera (let's hope, God let's hope it) is more than probably pointed out in a completely different direction," said a comment. "Just [because] it is a dome does not mean that it is a 360 camera. It is literally just a black dome so that customers do not know exactly where the dead angles of the camera are. (This who is frightening [because I suppose] that it could point to the locker room but it is so seriously improbable.) "
Another user has echoed this, arguing that the cameras of the Tiktok video are "dissuasive domes" which are "made to look like cameras".
The employees said that the domes were right there for the show.
Ross employees sounded in Allay Fears, saying that the cameras are really there to dissuade the display thieves.
"I worked for Ross," wrote a commentator. "All the domes are empty except those by the registers and the cash office lol."
Another wrote: "As an employee of Ross, I can promise you that they are false, just to scare customers."
A commentator said that they had installed these kinds of cameras, and that there was nothing to fear. "I installed cameras for Ross," wrote a tiktker. "None is facing the locker room. The camera is in this dome opposite."
Despite this, some customers were not satisfied with this explanation. "No matter if these cameras are false or cannot see so far, it's annoying," wrote a commentator.
