Crafty Wonderland — Local services in Portland

Long story short: this was the first time I've faced racism/double standard in Portland.

The store has a policy of leaving food and drinks on a side table right at the entrance and I was told (borderline warned and yelled at) immediately after I walked in. In less than 30 second, a group of 3 white people walked in and they were all holding a drink each on hands but they were not told to put their drinks down.
