I think I just got insulted for the first time just now because of the color of my skin.... SMDH...I've lived in American almost 25 years and Las Vegas 19 years...but today at the "Sieu Thi Than Phat" Asian Market on Spring Mountain and Decatur...where I always shop and buy my fish... I was stopped and asked for my receipt.. Now I certainly understand policies..I'm well educated mind you....I was asked for my receipt to look in my bag..i was well like ok.. and I walked on ..I looked back to see if she was checking other people to my dismay she was not... So I turned back and said may I ask why you checked me...she said store policy..I said well why are you not checking anyone else behind me...she preceded to state it was her job..I said that's well understood but why..was I the only one you checked...only person of color...she continued with its my job that's what I get paid for...I was so upset ...I walked away.. I did not want to start a commotion so i just carried on.. I have been trying to contact the number on the receipt no answer..it suck how much this crap really is still happening in this...
