My favorite is if u go to order or buy something and they just stand there. No Greeting, no may I take your order, just stone silence even after you say hi. They cant feign the slightest friendliness. This is actually the default. And of course they fuck up your order half the time.

If youre ever in an all white area the contrast in customer service is incredible. People greet you, they're friendly, efficient and sometimes go above and beyond. All despite making the same minimum wage pay. I actually find poor whites or “trailer trash” ones working customer service the nicest of them all.

Really though of all the shit we deal with, shitty attitudes from customer service types is the least of my concerns.

I disagree. I actually I think these anecdotes are important because they illustrate the animosity and racial tension that is built into everything. You cannot even order food or go about every day things without being an alien in your own fucking country.

And I have experienced enough of this shit to make collective judgments across the board. Indeed, for me at least that propensity is being taken to a whole new level with everythig going on that past few weeks.

The Black Lives Matter mask (written across her face that one naturally gazes at before the covid insanity) is the icing on the cake.

To be fair, while these “microaggressions”(to use their language) are annoying, they are the least of our problems. There are far worse incidents to highlight. Im generally happy if they arent assaulting or murdering us.
