I recently bought a home near this grocery store, so I tried to support this business by shopping here instead of going to the Whole Foods which is about twenty mins away from me. Huge mistake on my part - I will not be shopping here again. I understand that as a black woman, I am a minority in the Ironbound. But I can’t take the discrimination and racism anymore. Both times I shopped here, I was discriminated against. The first time I came with my Jewish boyfriend and we were checking out when my boyfriend made a comment about a rat he saw near the produce section. The cashier, a man, rudely asked if we were together even though we were standing close to each other and both were putting items on the check out machine. I have never had this happen when I dated within my race. I think the cashier was shocked to see a black woman and white man together and it showed. The second time I went, I went by myself and decided to try the self check out area. The woman who was assisting me was rude to me and I think it was because I am a black woman. I think she assumed that i was trying to steal? For context, I am an attorney and can afford the groceries even though they are overpriced and not as good as Whole Foods. I wanted to support this business since it is so close to my home, however, I refuse to support a racist establishment. I will be either going to Whole Foods or have my groceries delivered by fresh direct from now on. You lost a customer. P.s. try training your cashiers better. The fact that this cashier looked down on me when I’m an attorney is sad, and I know it was because of my race. This store has a racism problem. You need to train your staff better.
