Well after 8 years of coming to this store,most of the employees their have been very nice people. Yet "Manager" and I Guess now "Owner" of this place, Britney has always given me and Im sure all "Black patrons" a hard time. I came in 2 weeks ago,and she told me after my purchase that they had a new policy. That you're credit card had to have you're name on it,in order to use at their store.
I asked,well what if I'm married and we both have the same last name? "Manager Brittney" told me,that wouldn't work because I could be her brother or cousin,and she stated they've been having issues with people trying to use other people's phone numbers to gain points on their discount program. I didn't find any fought in that,but as a customer of 8 years,it's odd she's the only one who refuses to remember the one black guy with "Rainbow" dreads. It's clear from her excuses that not letting me use my wife's Credit card was to prevent me from robbing her. Cause you know us blacks.
I guess to Brittney,clearly all blacks look alike. So I come back today 8/29/2018 around 12:45pm and brought my wife with me who also had our Pomeranian with us. I walk in and ask a male would it be ok for me to use my wife's Credit card,I have my ID,and her ID,she's just in the car? You can go look if you don't believe me. "He says how about you make you're purchase,then send her in to pay for it"🤔.
Yes that's what he said,it's sad because I didn't want to tell these people my wife is "Bipolar,and suffers from Agraphobia",and I normally due all the shopping for the family. But here's where Brittney flat out (lies) to my wife,who was quite upset. "Manager Brittney" tells my wife,that all I had to do was tell them I had debit as well as credit and it would not have been a problem.
Well that's a flat out (lie),because that's not what she told me,when she assumed I was some random black guy,who clearly had a plot to use a stolen credit card. Nor did she ever ask if my card was debit.I can't help but wonder if I had been "white",would manager Brittney had treated me the same?,
If Brittney is indeed the only "manager and now Owner" of GLD,I won't be back. Our soceity has enough racial tension as it is,than for me to be treated like a "thief" in a place I thought I was welcomed. Sadly even in 2018 in Tigard at Green Light District, "Manager Brittney" won't give you the benefit of the doubt,even when you're wife really is sitting in the car with the dog.
Thanks for the White Nationalist treatment Manager Brittney. Things have changed for real since the...
Read moreIt's sad that in 2018 my husband and I still have to endure racist people and mindsets. My black husband who never has any problems using my credit card,were I have his last name,due to our 13 years of legal marriage on the card. Except here when "Special Victims Agent" Brittney, flat out lies to my husband several times.
First she tells him he can't use my card cause his names not on it,or he could be my "Brother" tells him this will be the last time he can use my card,due to others who have clearly stolen people's credit cards. So I guess my black husband had to have stolen a credit card,cause no way someone would trust him with it right? Bad enough we've been coming here since before the remodeling,and my husband says he only has issues with this Brittney girl. I think she's the one who got a girl fired in 2013 who was really nice,now I see what she meant.
I find it hard to believe with hardly any blacks in Tigard that little Manager Britney didn't recognize my husband who has rainbow dreads. Then when my husband called and asked to speak to the owner or get information,she lied and told him ,"SHE WAS THE ONLY MANAGER". But when I call and asked she gives me a odd email of some woman name Aubrey?
I would like to personally speak to someone about the practices and lies told to my husband by manager Brittney,and ask why would she make my husband go outside to get me,to use my credit card,when he had my I'd,his I'd,and we both share the same last name? Tell him he can't use the card,but tell me all he had to do was say it was debit,and their wouldn't have been an issue,when she never asked him was it debit?
Now I wonder what did my husband do,to make Brittney turn into a "Detective" instead of showing appreciation for 8 years of repeat business? Or is it clear Brittney would rather no "Interracial Couples" visit the store when she's on a shift?
I don't appreciate how you treated my husband,and it seems pretty obvious if he had been white,and "female" you would not have treated him how you did today. Occurred today...
Read moreI went in to buy a tobacco pipe for someone as a gift. I know nothing about pipes. The young skinny (sorry didn't get his name and that's his description) was impatient with me even though there were few customers. I looked at glass then asked about regular old fashioned pies, which were down the counter ant to left---maybe a 2 foot walk. He actually said 'Well I have to go all the way down there but will, and was more impatient. I walked down and he showed me some. I asked about difference and he wasn't very helpful. I chose one. He asked which then I wanted glass or that one and I said "this one looks like the best" It was the wooden type. AT the counter we even had a bit of small talk about that type of pipe. I didn't look as he bagged everything. Arriving home, I found the glass pipe in the bag and went back. As I told him he made a mistake, he became slightly angry, telling me I was wrong. A women maybe a manager? came over and asked what was up. I told her and he denied it again. I said----Why don't you just be a man and admit you were wrong and that you are a liar. I walked out. The women never tried to intervene or apologize. I don't smoke cigarettes or pies so wont be back and sure wont for friends or...
