To the woman at the sub place who gave the immigrant worker a hard time because she made a simple mistake: SHE SPEAKS BETTER ENGLISH THAN YOU, you trailer trash! Not only did you flip out at her in front of some kids, you continued to say, “People like her shouldn’t be here if they can’t speak english,” and making racist comment after racist comment. I was watching when she made her mistake, it was because the English speaking guy next to her handed her the wrong sub and she rang it in. She probably would have been able to correct the mistake quickly had you not yelled at her to the point of tears then demanded your food for free. Oh, and bonus ass points go to the guy worker who told the raging customer “I know” when she went on about how, “Chinese people shouldn’t be working here.” Grow some balls. We gave the Asian worker a big tip (enough to cover your stupid purchase) and told her not all Canadians were trailer trash like you. Learn to speak English yourself before you make some stupid ass assumptions about someone else. —A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way

Wow sounds like Mammy Yokum was having a bad day
I sure hope you called the owner of this shop and complained about the guy agreeing with the worker. unacceptable.
Oh jeez, that’s just awful OP! I’m glad you did something nice for the worker. And you’re right, a lot of people born in this country can’t speak very well either ;). People assume I have bad hearing, but no. I just can’t fucking understand what them people talkin’ ’bout.
Was there any intervention on your part besides the tip? If not, you missed a perfect opportunity to give the trailer trash the verbal smackdown she deserved. Don’t just stand there! Say something!
No doubt the trailer trash was a Social Benefits Commando obviously feeling threatened by the new changes to EI policy and “immigrant workers” snapping up min wage job prospects.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the slag can’t even SPELL ‘Chinese’. Oh, but she can fill out an EI claim like nobody’s biz-ness!
Great that you paid for the sub, but I missed the part where you tell us what you said to the racist bitch.
Vastie, don’t confuse EI with welfare. EI is for working people.
BTW, down here, now that the US has all but eliminated welfare (can only collect for 2 years) the number of people needing food stamps has more than doubled.
take that bitches sub
‘You have insulted this lady’s intelligence mam. I challenge you to a duel’…
and slap her square in the mouth with it.
this is not worth a comment from me.
Nice of her co-worker to have her back and defend her. Sometimes the customer isn’t right, they’re just a dick.
Is it just me becoming too sensitive…or are people becoming more insensitive, judgemental (dare I say predjudice) & abusive for little or no reason lately ?
I seen somone flip out last week because the store was out of their size… so you rage at the employee ?!?….how exactly can that be an employees fault ?
Try speaking Algonquin, muthafuckas.
Biscuit – it’s hard enough getting your order right at the average fast food jernt. I don’t think we need to bring “Code Talkers” into the equation. >: )
Interesting. At least someone actually witnessed this.
I keep telling people I go through crap like this all the time and no one believes me.
More, no you’re not becoming too sensitive. Being from a different culture, I noticed a rise of racism and discrimination after Sept 11, 2001 incident.
It seems like people were waiting for some ammo.
I’ve been through my fare share of comments and discrimination while living here and still experience it. It shapes you really.
i believe you rd, and that’s why i use my outside voice, inside. it booms of the walls
