Was it because I'm a woman, was it because I'm African American.. who knows, you read and see.

I recently stopped by this market to take a look around. I have explored different cultures and their way of life. The accommodation in various place should be taken into consideration.

Going into the store I was not greeted. I looked around for about 5-10 minutes. Finally, I picked up 2 items; a drink and a bag of cookie.

When I got to cash register there was a gentleman in the back that seemed to be occupied, so I waited for 2 or so minutes for him to get situated. Thing is, 2 minutes turned into dismissal. Another gentleman approached him and they started speaking to one another, idled even. They both looked my way more than one occasion, but neither attempt to approach the cash register to take care of me. What I come to find out that he simply did not want to serve me.

5 additional minutes went by and I became restless. After looking around at the treats behind the glass shelf next to the register, I made a decision. I put the 2 items back. Before I walked out the door, I saw a lady speaking Hebrew to one of the two gentlemen, at the cash register 😑.

I waited 2 days before writing this post. I went through all my irrational and rational thoughts towards this event.

So I ask you, was it because I was a woman, no. Was it because I was black? You tell me...

I went to Jerusalem Market for the first time this past Thursday evening. It came highly recommended by a local business owner located in the same plaza. I had been looking for a new butcher who’d cut my meat neater & not leave any fat.

The elderly butcher at this grocery store is beyond rude! He made me feel like I was wasting his time. I don’t know why he had a problem with me but no matter how many times I told him to cut these whole chickens (in the picture) into smaller pieces he ignored my request.

He took 15 minutes to just take the skin off after I tried telling the cashier (who seemed to be more interested in talking with whoever was on his phone) to tell the butcher to please take the skin off & cut the chicken but despite him supposedly telling the butcher the butcher still only did half of what I asked him to!

Because of his poor service I’m going to have to find another butcher/grocery store. He was friendly to & even greeted the guy in line after me. I’m not sure if the butcher has a problem with non-Arab Muslims or women in general or what but I’ve never felt so insulted at a grocery store in my life!

I just defrosted these chickens today thinking they were cut in small pieces & they’re not cut at all! This is the first time I’ve met a butcher who doesn’t want to do his job! Astaghfirullah!

If I could give 0...
