Good for your mom for making you go back in.

It doesnt matter if you like to start trouble or not that is NOT acceptable at all!

Sounds like the owner is a good guy though! I think you should always let the owner know so they can deal with a situation like this, he sure handled it right! And Pepsi can get some new things

I'm glad everything worked out okay, but it still hurts to be treated like that. Anyway, Pepsi SCORED!

I have two boys both from overseas and I think it is a shame how people have raised their children. My older son is 16 now and of course dating. He's a very popular kid and the girls go crazy over him. On one occassion I had a parent say to me "your son has an Italian name, he is Italian right." Meaning, because he has darker skin is he Mexican. My boys are both from Guatemala. I find that predjudice is not through children, but through the adults that raise the children. I also think it works on all sides. I've seen whites that are predjudcie and I've seen blacks that are just as predjudice of the whites, and that goes for the spanish, Indian etc. I wish that people could see that color does not make a person who they are or aren't.

I'm glad that you got compensated and I hope the owner fires the girl.

I SERIOUSLY can't stand any kind of bigotry - what on earth makes a person think they are better than another ?

You did the right thing going back and speaking up - people like that do not need to be dealing with the public. (not what I really want to say but it's a public site)

Remember - there's KARMA and people like that deserve the bad kind!

I agree completely. If she is the owner, I would tell all of my friends and anyone else I may have a chance to talk to about this and be sure to never shop there again!

Sorry to hear about your experience. You don't need that kind of attitude. Don't shop there and call the store manager. I had a similiar experience at a supermarket when I first bought my house. When I was looking in my bag for my wallet one of the cashiers said "a lot of minorities are moving into the neighborhood". Meanwhile the cashiers are grown adult women 40+, and I was dressed in business clothes. I wanted to reply, "because so many people are foreclosing on their homes because they're making minimum wage in a supermarket," but I didn't want to insult the other cashiers who didn't say the dumb comment. Instead I called the store & stopped shopping there.

Mom to Hot Rod · 12-14-2009, 08:15 PM

Good for your mom and you going back to the store. You should not feel sorry for this woman because if she is in a position of customer service, then she ought to be nice to people, period. There is absolutely no reason for someone to be ignorant to anyone because of race. It sounds as though the store owner cares about his business and clientle--great place to shop and send your friends!

pepsi mcnabb · 12-14-2009, 08:18 PM

Wow......people are crazy now days.It makes you feel like time is standing still this is not the 1930's,people need to grow up GOD knows no color we're all his children.I'm not going to lie if that same lady would've said that to me a few years back I would've wiped her a** like she stole something,but I'm not a child anymore,you live and learn life is trails.

( i felt alil' bad)he apologied and gave pepsi 250 dollars store credit,2new crew toys and a bag of treats.

i just want to thank everyone for their support with this issue,i truely enjoy this site:d

mother always knows best!

diane boden · 12-15-2009, 11:12 AM

Its not your fault this woman lost her job, its hers. It wasn't the first time she was rude to a customer so she got just what she deserved. Unfortunately she probably wont learn from her mistake, that kind of people never do.

newyorki · 12-16-2009, 05:34 AM

OMG - you went back in and confronted her??!! You are my hero!! awesome job. I'm sure they were terrified of a lawsuit, enjoy those $250 smackers .

giggy · 12-19-2009, 04:50 PM

As the owner of a pet store I would want to know that one of my employees was behaving in that way. Good for you to follow up with the owner / manager to let them know what happened.
