A PLACE OF DISCRIMINATION

by bhattjay at Citysearch

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS STORE.

WE WENT TO THIS STORE ON MON, JUNE 29 2009 AT AROUND 8PM EST WITH TWO KIDS TO PURCHASE FEW ITEMS.

KIDS WERE BEING LITTLE NOISY (AS NORMALLY KIDS ARE) HOWEVER ONE OF THE OTHER CUSTOMER (A FEMALE IN HER 40S) GOT REALLY UPSET AND STARTED ACTING REALLY MAD.

WHEN WE ASKED HER TO CALM DOWN, SHE STARTED ACTING VERY STRANGE; SHE STARTED DISCRIMINATING ME AND MY FAMILY (WE ARE ASIAN INDIANS) STATING "THIS IS MY COUNTRY".

THE RITE AID STORE MANAGER WATCHED THE WHOLE THING FROM SIDE , DID NOTHING TO CALM HER DOWN RATHER WAS INDIRECTLY SUPPORTING THIS PERSON IN HER DISCRIMINATION.

I HOPE EVERY ONE IS TREATED EQUALLY AT THIS STORE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THEIR SKIN COLORS.

• Pros: NONE
