The Spaniard/Hispanic woman that works at the Andie on Fourth Street in Berkeley is extremely rude and unprofessional and I'm very inclined to believe that she has an issue with black people. I work at a nearby business and a lovely black woman came into shop and told me that she worked there. I told her I would check it out since they are new to the area and I hadn't visited the store yet. We chatted a little longer and I complimented her smile she ended up recommending a teeth whitening product that she liked then she left to go to work. A couple days later I went into Andi and asked another woman if she was there and explained that she gave me a product recommendation and I couldn't remember the name. The present employee told me she wasn't at work that day and that "she would reach out to her and get the product name for me and that she would come by and let me know". I told her that it was ok and I would come back on my lunch to see if she heard from her coworker. When I returned, she said the woman hadn't gotten back to her so I wished her a good day and went back to work. Today, I returned (week later )and saw a Spanish woman. I asked her if the woman I was looking for was there and explained why I wanted to speak with her and the Spanish woman replied "she doesn't work her and can you stop coming" I said excuse me I only came one other time to get the name of the product and she replied " I know the whole story I was here when you came". " She doesn't work here because she was a big problem in the company and we don't have her contact ". (I never asked for her contact or even her name) I told her if the first woman had told me that she no longer worked there, I wouldn't have returned today. But not to worry I WILL NEVER RETURN or recommend their business since they think this is an appropriate way to speak to people. I'm sure she's not rude like that to white patrons.
