All the stores located here I truly enjoy going to. All except Food City. Very rude employees. I tried to ignore the racist comments and noticeable actions, but after a full year I had to find another grocery store nearby.
My fiance is African, & I am half Black American & half Hispanic American. When I am with him people assume I'm full African because of my features. Listening to their comments in Spanish about me & him & how they always watched my every move like I'm a thief felt 🤕 hurtful. I look very young like I'm in my early 20s but I'm in my mid 40s. I'm too old for drama & I try to stay kind & positive. I treat others with love & respect. These ladies that works in Food City became so mean to me & my fiance that I ended up pulling my phone 🤳 out and recording how awful 😞 we were being treated as local regular customers. I spoke to the lady in Spanish & told her
"Well after a full year of listening to you & your coworkers make fun of me & my fiance, I'm sure you are surprised I even know Spanish. I am not African, only my spouse is. I am Black & Mexican American. I will no longer be shopping here because of the disrespectful comments. Before I go, I would like the world to see why I no longer shop at this Food City. I am recording you & myself & showing the world how close you are to us & not paying any attention to other customers needing assistance or help with things because you're too busy treating me like a criminal & watching us as if we are trying to steal some fruits or food. We don't buy anything else here but food & have been coming here for over a year now. I will stay smiling 😊 & hope you enjoy the rest of your day."
Her eyes popped out of her head & she was speechless. After a full 2 min's, her only response was "I not doing nothing. I only working." As her whole body was facing nobody but me & she was within 3-5 steps away from me. I don't even stand that close to my fiance 😆. Two other customers were trying to get her attention for some help. So I ended my statement with "well mam you might want to start working over there & away from me. I enjoy my space from other people since COVID hit & two customers have been waiting patiently for your help. If that is part of your job duties. I hope that helps you to continue to work"..
I still have the video on my phone. I know she felt guilty & I'm sure she ended up telling her other coworkers about me speaking to her in Spanish 😂. Hopefully 🤞 they will start being more nice to others & keeping their comments to themselves & just doing their jobs....
