(methinks not) i will never go back after 10/05/2013.
i have been going there since about 01/2010
saturday morning i was up early running my mother around and i was out of the sunflower oil and kenyan tea (morning energy boost w/out the jitters of coffee).
i was in the area so i went to get those items.
i was the only car in the lot when i pulled in. upon entering the store the gentleman was the only one behind the counter and he didn't seem to look up. a couple entered behind me and then he said good morning, i spoke and responded anyways, thinking just maybe he didn't see me. as i continued shopping, i looked over the beauty oil cans to find that they were dusty w/small dead insects on them.
when i am at the counter i see the other employee, who is a woman, and i smiled at her and she smiled back but does not speak to me at all.
this man however never speaks or smiles. i comment that they might need some coffee to wake them up, and suggested my tea. these people are disrespectful
the other people over the yrs have been so nice. the older gentleman would go out of his way to go to the back to bring me fresh items . the younger lades would make suggestions on various things i needed help with.
although this was flat out racism. which i don't have a high sensitivity for . his behavior, and the other employees through out the store that i ran across whom were actually hispanic not bengali, spoke volumes. not one greeting in produce, (where the man left a mop bucket there in the path to the register and he looked up and said nothing). and not one greeting in the meat dept.
*i would rather drive to the world food market on floyd st. in dallas.
or locate a store in plano for better quality meat!
they may not care if they loose my business. but why come to america, open a business and not even like most americans to the point you will not even greet them in your own place of business. this is not 1955 where you can state what race of people you will not serve.
** epically when you are a minority yourself. that is just color-ism and ignorance. read more
