Senior Yorkie Talker | ( I don't want to offend anyone)I Had A Bad Experience At The Pet Store Today I went to a small neighborhood Pet store to get Pepsi some shampoo and a few other things.So I'm walking around looking at all the different things this store has I've never been there before.As I'm standing in one of the isle and this young Caucasian lady walked up to me with an attitude like can I help you,"what do you need" I told her what I was looking for which was oatmeal shampoo,do you believe she just walked away.I didn't say anything I just continued to look around. In the front of the store there are kittens waiting to be adoption,so people were holding them,rubbing them showing the kittens luv I walked over to rub one of the kittens and the same lady walked over to me and "said we don't allow people to handle the kittens".I'm heated now. so I turned to her and asked about the shampoo I asked about earlier,she points to the corner of the store where shampoos are.BUT HERE'S THE KICKER she walks back over to me and asks me what kind of dog do I have,I told her a yorkie,she's like really..... that's unusual are you sure you have a Yorkshire Terrier,it's easy to get confused,she then had to the nerves to asked if I got him from a homeless dog shetler or a puppy mill,I asked her was she joking.She said NO most of my people have mutts.I can't take it anymore I laid into her a** like a new rug.I told her to let me see her bylaws where it wroten that my people(blacks) can own a yorkie and for her FYI I didn't get him from a homeless shelter or a puppy mill.I got him from a licensed breeder and I paid in cash straight out without a layaway plans.I wanted to beat the he** out that woman.

| I agree. You should not support such a rude business. Some people are just plain stupid and don't deserve your hard earned money.

| That is horrible!! Is she an employee or the owner? If she isn't the owner I would report her, her behavior is completely unacceptable and they might be unaware of it.

| Sorry you had such a bad experience. Good for you for telling her off. I appologize for my race. I cannot stand bigotry of any kind. We are all God's children. |

| The owner needs to know about this. I would write a letter to the person in charge and tell they you are also sending a copy to the newspaper and news station. I guarantee they will not ignore your letter. Sorry you had such a bad experience. THOSE people set an example of how NOT to be.

Senior Yorkie Talker | u never know who's who Well I was truely just gonna let it go,I told my mom what happen and she hit the roof, so my mom(Barbara),Pepsi and myself all went back to the store.My mom asked to speak to the manager,owner ,who's ever in charge.The store owner was there when he came out,he didn't have a happy look on his face,My mom explained to him what happen,but he had already knew his daughter had call him(she works the register in the the store and over heard what took place earlier)come to find out this is not the first time this lady has done this, he had got a letter a few months ago from a unknown customer complaining about this same lady and he asked his employees but noone would speak up,so he put his daughter in the store,she's home from college and none of the employee knew who she was,to them she was just another worker.He said in today world money is to hard to come by and he wasn't letting anyone keep him from making it.He let her go ( 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

| I can’t stand it when something like this happens. I always tell myself not to jump to conclusions maybe the person is having a dad day or something, but when someone acts so blatantly racist I am like you and can’t hold my tongue any longer. You and your mom did the right thing and as far as feeling sorry for her that goes to show what type of character you have. You are a caring and sympatric person. That woman on the other hand is a ignorant butt. |
