I have lived in my neighborhood for 8 years and have visited the grocery store down the street atleast twice a week for all these years.
Everyone is really nice, except for this one lady. We have seen each other many times over the years and she never even looks at me. When I check out she is rude, doesn't speak, doesn't make eye contact, never says have a nice day. To add, I have noticed that she tends to have this attitude towards the white customers. Once I had an AA lady in front of me and she was smiling, pleasant, then she was all dry with me and the lady after me got the pleasant attitude. It was so noticable and obvious. It pretty much always is. It has happened on so many occasions. When I went with DH she was nice to my DH, who is black and ignored the hell out of me when I tried to be friendly back to her. Anyway, this past weekend she really got nasty with me with a comment when I messed up at the self checkout line. I was caught off guard and didn't really know what to say. She was just harsh and ugly. Anyway, would you all say something or let it go. I try to avoid her, but she is always there. I know some of you will blast me for this post being ridiculous and "first world problems" but it just bothers me that this is how she treats customers. I am always pleasant to everyone in the store, including her but I don't appreciate her harsh attitude when I frequent the place so much. Thoughts? |

| If it was that bad, tell her supervisor. Let him/her deal with it from there. |

| I would let it go. Not everyone you meet will like you or Want to talk to you. You can't please everyone. |

Although I don't condone her behavior... now you know what it is like to be "Black in America".

| You probably remind her of someone who was once rude to her. People treat people who remind them of XYZ from the past like crap daily. White, Black, Asian, etc... |

I'm white and my DH isn't and we get this treatment sometimes too. It is very real and happens thru no fault of your own sometimes. It's racist, it sucks, but really if that is how she feels, then what can you do?
Either that, or somehow you made a bad impression and she's the type to hold a grudge. Just ignore her and don't go in her line, maybe? |

+1 So she's a racist jerk. She rings up your groceries. She doesn't have the ability to hire or fire you or anything else important. It sucks, but you'll have to accept that you're more mature than her. Sorry. |

What exactly did she do?
People are assholes to me everyday because I'm Black. If this is all that you've had to deal with because you are White, consider yourself lucky. It sucks, doesn't it? |

| If you really disliked your overall service, you could just stop patronizing them. But that isn't your situation. Don't let her get to you. Tell the manager. It is what it is and it is this way in the world sometimes. Yeah some people just suck. |
