she was a jerk. She should have called you over when she decided she WAS open, after all.

Im afraid to say your incident is probably not isolated.

Good for you on not making a scene but taking your business elsewhere.

Doris was upset because you chose a ‘white’ soda pop just like she would. She wasn’t up to dealing with the fact that she and you had something in common. Some are that angry. God will sort it out. Move on.

This all reminds me of this scene…

Wyatt, Shocking, isn’t it? Zero was supposed to heal the earth and folk are still acting like this.

This reminded me of a shopping incident when we lived in Hawaii some years ago. I, a white woman, was shopping in a nice store in the mall. All of the salespeople were Asian wimmins.

I was clearly looking around for some help, looking toward the saleswoman and looking confuzzled. I may as well have been invisible. The clerk walked right by me and asked an Asian shopper if she needed help.

I also remember getting on a city bus in Honolulu. The only seat left was next to an elderly Asian gent. I sat down and he practically glued himself to the window. It was beyond blatant.

Old NFO – Thanks. I had to send one.

Randal – Funniest comment of the day.

DL – I didn’t want to condemn her too soon, but that’s how it’s looking.

Hank – Very good point. Thanks!

TexasFred – Yeah, probably.

Becky – My ancestors were in Slovakia and Ireland at the time. And remember, the Irish were treated like garbage in the 1800′s.

Clady – I felt it was at least ignorant. Racist? Not sure.

Dano – I only wanted to buy a soda. I didn’t mind waiting in line, but she shouldn’t have lied to me.

Hyman Roth – Oh, for cripes’ sake!

JeffT – Way too far, dude. WAY too far.

Wyatt,
Run, don’t walk, away from that city. Obviously the clerk was someone who nags a lot. That’s because she lives in a nagger neighborhood and is surrounded by other naggers who put nagger writing on the walls. I don’t like naggers or the horses they sleep with/rode in on because they are always naggin’ ’bout sumpin. The city is lost. Surrender filthydelephia to Al Qaeda then attack immediately.
Thanks blobama for all the racial harmony.

I’ve run into racism and discrimination, but being a white male can’t do anything about it. Its always left an unpleasant feeling. I don’t care what your skin looks like, its what is in your heart and mind that matters to me. Wanna be a bitch? Fine, I will politely pay and then never enter either your store or another (if a chain) again. You were nicer and sent them a note about it.

Yes its wrong, and its an uncomfortable experience. Unfortunately, its getting more common. My only solace is that karma is a bitch, you will get what you deserve some day.

Wyatt, I am glad you emailed the company. racism is racism no matter what color you are. I can only think with the election of Barack and the dropping of the charges of the Black Panthers in the voter intimidation tha some people think they are paying you back for something your ancestors may or may not have particiated in.
