Imagine it is a very warm day, you are travelling into London and you find yourself needing some water. I walk in and asked for a cup of tap water, her face made it out as if it was a chore. I then ask if I could have it in a bigger cup but that is not allowed as I was not buying anything and "they have to pay for the cups and we sell bottled water".

I'm very disappointed and frustrated that they served the customer behind me while completely ignoring me. The girl on shift didnât even look at me, despite me telling her that my train had arrived. I just wanted a pastryâhow hard could that be? Is it because Iâm a woman and Asian? If not, then why did you serve the white man behind me first? This is incredibly humiliating. I can't believe it. I'm very saddened by this experience. P.S. 12:52 Platform 3, the women working on the back wearing red glasses look friendly. I'm referring to the girl working...
