One of the worst experiences I've ever had, discrimination should never be tolerated
I don't normally write reviews, but I'm deeply disturbed and outraged by the treatment I received at this store today. As a customer who walked in before anyone else, I respectfully waited at the counter and placed my order. The employee who shares an ethnic background with the next customer who entered ignored me completely and prioritized him, despite the fact that I was there first and already being served.
This wasn't a simple oversight. It was deliberate, clear, and hurtful. I was overlooked and treated as if I didn't matter. The only difference between me and the other customer? I'm not Asian. That's what made this so painful and personal.
Let me be clear I respect all cultures. I work in an area that is predominantly Asian and have always treated everyone with kindness and professionalism. But respect must go both ways. What happened today was a disgrace not just to me, but to the very values this country is supposed to stand for equality, fairness, and dignity for everyone.
To the owner of this store: you need to seriously evaluate who you hire and what kind of environment you're creating. When your staff chooses who to serve based on race or familiarity rather than fairness, it sends a message that some people matter more than others. That's not just bad business it's discrimination.
To those in the community regardless of background I urge you to hold businesses accountable. This kind of behavior doesn't just hurt one person, it divides communities and fosters resentment where there should be understanding.
I will never shop here again, and I will encourage others to do the same until this issue is acknowledged and addressed properly. We all deserve to be treated with basic human respect. Nothing less. read more
