[3]: 23  Large posters were placed on the walls inside the store warning "Dishonesty Means Prison" in five different languages, although it is contested whether Klein actually prosecuted all those caught shoplifting or not.

Albert Halper described one instance where "crowds of women were ... storming all the entrances to Klein's ... overturning tables stacked with handbags and blouses."

Benjamin Davis was told by one store worker that employees were encouraged to "insult Negro patrons so that they won't come back again".

S. Klein also had a presence in the Philadelphia and suburban market, with stores at Roosevelt Blvd, Marple-Springfield and Cherry Hill.

The last known existing signage with the company name (as of 2013) is in a tile inlay in the entrance flooring of a former store location at 68 Clinton Street, New York City.

In the song "Drop That Name" from the musical Bells Are Ringing, Judy Holliday's character surprises the high society crowd when she mentions Klein's and says, "I do all my shopping there."
