Since you didn t want to speak to me, i guess I ll just write it here to let you know my thoughts. I simply asked you if it was possible to pass out flyers to the ladies as they left the premises. With the answer being no, that s totally acceptable, because it s your place of business. Your store, your rules. No argument there. However, your condensing attitude and remarks were the problem. You expressing to me that you don t want me to pass out flyers because you don t want your girls to feel threaten and telling me that i need to leave now was rude and hurtful on so many levels. What i asked myself as i left was, what about me would make your girls feel threaten? 1) i was well dress (button up and slacks). 2) i came in with a cheerful spirit. 3) i was extremely polite. So what about me made you come from the back room to articulate to me, that you don t want your girls to feel threaten by me? Let me guess. Because I m African American with dreads lol.... ma am, next time, a simple no, because we don t allow soliciting would be sufficient. Your stereotypical judgement is not needed. I called, not to fuss or argue, but just to inform you and the others on how your words could be perceived. But again, y all treated me as if i was threat even on the phone lol.... just know, the comment was extremely hurtful. And instead of staying to express that, i choose to call because i didn t want anything to escalate, but y all still wouldn t hear me out even over the phone. So, here we are.... i hope you get it.
And tell JT, he ain t scaring nobody lol....
