I am not that stupid....

Post Reply New Topic

So today I had to try on a couple bras at walmart to see what size I needed. and this first employee I ran into was kind of rude. like its not my fault I am mostly white and part native nor is it my boyfriend fault he has a red beard and looks rather germanic/scaninavian. But yeah this person at the area to check on clothes to try on literally did not treat me like a person. except the person the b*tch called back to take care of me let me into the dressing room. But I mean I was a little offended. Like Its not my fault I don't speak spanish but like we could have worked it out with hand signals and basic communication not involing language, but they were such a jerk I didn't bother..because apparently while I was in trying the bras on the b**h glared at my boyfriend like he was some eyesore and was no more polite to me. So yeah tip, if you don't quite speak the language of the customers don't be a b*tch at the customers over it. Like don't just walk away leaving people confused....because that is what she did, just ignored me when trying to get to the dressing room. Like litterally just walked away without any warning to go get a different employee to deal with us...like my skin was the wrong color for them to provide any service. But yeah its like the sae me and completely ignored me rather blatantly. LIke the litterrally gave the body language that I didn't even exixt/ I wonder if this is what racism feels like to minorities.

I mean yeah so sorry for having a skin tone different from theirs, but it was ridiculous all I wanted was to go in the dressing room, that does not require specific language understanding, you can show them the amount of items and all they have to do is give you the stupid number card with the amount of clothes you are trying and they had to be a b*ch about it? Like what in my life did I ever to do them to get that?

Why assume it was racial at all? Maybe she was just a rude employee or having a bad day.

Maybe not, I just have run into that a couple times before from people, like that will be rude and then like hide behind speaking a different langauge but still making it obvious they are being rude. I have gone into stores with more south american and mexican people who speak more spanish than english and they typically always do their best try and understand you, and she just seemed to have the attitude of 'oh they don't speak spanish so I wont even bother with them'. But maybe they are just a rude person to everyone, it just struck me as her having a problem specifically with us.

I mean I don't understand why she literally just abruptly walked away like without even indicating she was getting someone else...and then scowled at my boyfriend after I went into the dressing room.

And also in my initial post I mean what did I ever do to her. But yeah I guess I don't really know why she was rude.

Well that sounded like a terrible day.

it sounds so weird that someone deal with costumers and don't speak the local language... but maybe she was nervous to not being able to communicate and then you misunderstood how she treated your bf because you were already annoyed by her previous weird behavior? I don't know, it sounds an annoying situation but I don't think it is similar to what minorities face in daily basis.

Yeah I don't really think it is that similar to actual discrimination...I mean seems like more of a rude thing people do when there is a language barrier but it is minor compared to real discrimination people face. I am still convinced it was her being rude not just nervous, and it was my boyfriend who told me she was scowling at him I didn't see that part myself.
