My bf and his family decided to stay in Bend from Sept 1st - 4th. His sister, mom, niece, and I all decided to go to the village on Friday Sept 2nd. The village was extremely cute and had cute shops inside. My sister in law wanted to go inside this store, I said sure thing let's go! The shop had many cute stickers, house decorations, clothes, dog toys, etc. I decided to get myself two stickers and a magnet. While waiting in line I noticed the cashier was very talkative with everyone and was complimenting every item people were getting. I was in a happy mood and was excited with my purchase. As I went up to the cashier I immediately said hello just these guys! The cashier looked at me and did not say a single word but okay. I stayed quiet thinking she was going to say something else but she didn't. All she said was, " do you want to carry these in your wallet or in this?" She picks up a small paper bag with two fingers and dangles it like a piece of tissue she picked up from the ground. I'm still polite with her and said that would be great thank you! Still no response. Next words she said was cash or card? I said card, she said okay perfect. I followed the pin pad she gave me my receipt and I said thank you have a nice day. She said, "thanks I definitely will!"
I felt so damn judged and disrespected. I don't know if I was the only person who was different than others in there because I was the only different looking person in the store. But show some respect or at least fake it since I am a paying customer. I texted my bf to tell him my experience and he was super disappointed how my first experience with Bend was with an extremely rude judgmental person.
Will I come back in the store? Yes cause I adored how their shop looked
Will I go alone? No I'll bring my bf so he can witness how I was mistreated. read more
