All I want everyone to join me in boycotting this 7-eleven for their bias practices 19-20 MAR22.
I was on Newtown this evening leaving an appointment and stopped into this 7-eleven to get a bottle of water, upon entry I requested to utilize the bathroom and the clerk lizzie "said we don't have a public bathroom never have and never will go to RITE AID" at this point I said roger and proceeded to buy a bottle of water with a 100 dollar bill and lizzie state " ohh no not today" and i replied what and she said "we aint taking that" and I said " why?" and She said " because you trying to cheat us and so I said okay and searched through my pocket and found a 5 dollar bill. I said why would i cheat you and she said I know how you people do.
I inquired if it was because I was African American and she said " NO".. She stated it was clearly stated on a sign. I told her the sign did not say that 7-eleven did not take 100 dollars bills and she said it was a company policy and no 7-eleven takes 100 dollar bills and no 7-elevens have public restrooms.
I think what we must understand is that this particular 7- Eleven is operated in very close proximity to minority neighborhoods, where they deny customers the basic rights to utilize the restrooms and assume all minorities are producing fake tender.
I don't understand how 7-eleven can operate in that neighborhood and treat their patrons so poorly. In most cases you never know who you are taking too. I happen to be a Navy veteran protecting freedoms that allow the store to operate, but my integrity is questioned. I really felt horrible leaving there today with a two dollar bottle of water, and two clerks protecting a bathroom and the movement of a 100 dollar bill. Some people don't get the big picture I guess or maybe I'm missing something.
Diana to you and pass to your manager, your team serves in a customer service capacity and if you can't be nice to people, please seek employment elsewhere. You actually can ruin other peoples day with the negative attitude. If you hate your job quit, but don't take it out on others.
I'm asking for anyone who has had a very negative experience with this store to please keep the string going.
SEVEN-ELEVEN you owe the community an apology
NAACP please investigate and meet us early Saturday Moring 19MAR22
WAVY 10 NEWS meet us there Saturday Moring 19MAR22
