if you're ever in the market for some kind of fancy dress, don't patronize Cache (? .. I think that's it) on Newbury St. While I was in there on the weekend, the pushy saleslady turned away two young black women by telling them they needed an appointment to come in. Not too convincing because the store had giant SALE signs in the windows, and some other people walked in directly after them and were not turned away. We left (would have left anyway because of the salelady's pushiness, but this chased us away faster).

That is disgusting.

I would write a letter to their corporate management.

You're posting from the future!

Wow, thanks for the tip. What deplorable behavior.

That's astounding.

Did they have seperate drinking fountains and changing rooms, too?

Sunday when I was the grocery store the bag boy told the cashier to she is dumb and should stop talking completely. I told him he is rude and should apologize. If I was in the store with you I would have to the sales lady to "Stop being a racist" and walked out.

Fuck. I am not even gray and I am an old man.

I was in the dressing room and didn't hear about it until my friend told me later ...

Sorry. I didn't mean to imply you didn't do enough. I just meant to say that if I were there, I would have mouthed off. :)

wouldn't it be great if we could take down one of those sale posters and put up one that talks about how that saleslady is racist?

*disgusted*

Also, she was either middle eastern or hispanic and probably has experienced simiar stuff herself (I think hispanic)

Yeah - the racism on the east coast is different from the racist on the west cost - and different from the racism in the south. On the east coast they always have had "in fighting."

Although, I have noticed people from South and Central America are critical of people from neighboring countries. Kinda like we are about people from different states.

I take it back. The racism is the same all over. I am just used to being the minority and "white."
