⚠️ Racial discrimination and prejudice in customer service ⚠️
Wore a keffiyeh ( Arabic scarf) in here 12/9/24. I got lots of stares which is fine, but when it was my turn in line at the register, the woman treated me noticeably worse and rudely. The customer in front of me was greeted hello, asked if they have a membership, if they found everything they need etc, thanked by her. When it was my turn she was silent and stared angrily, no hello, didn’t even speak the words to tell me my total after she finished scanning. When I stared back at her waiting for her to speak, she just pointed at the card machine. I brought my own bag , she did help to put in my groceries but threw them in carelessly/sideways in a hurried way as if to make a point. ( there was no one behind me).
Due to the person in front of me being treated polite and normal, and me being ignored, I have to understand this as an act of anti Arab/muslim racism and prejudice.
The woman was wearing a scarf, hat, and glasses, and mask.
