I
recently
visited
the
Irish
coffee
shop
in
Yonkers
with
my
children,
hoping
to
enjoy
a
pleasant
meal
and
experience
the
warmth
and
hospitality
the
Irish
culture
is
known
for.
Unfortunately,
what
we
encountered
was
nothing
short
of
disappointing
and
discriminatory.
Upon
entering
the
coffee
shop,
we
were
greeted
by
a
very
rude
lady
who
seemed
to
have
a
chip
on
her
shoulder.
When
I
approached
the
counter
to
place
my
order,
she
looked
at
me
and
my
children
with
disdain,
as
if
we
were
not
welcome
there.
Confused,
I
asked
her
why,
and
her
response
was
utterly
shocking.
She
blatantly
told
us
that
we
were
not
welcome
in
her
establishment
and
suggested
we
go
elsewhere
to
eat.
The
lady's
discriminatory
behavior
took
us
aback
and
left
us
feeling
extremely
hurt
and
marginalized.
As
Irish
Travelers,
we
had
hoped
to
celebrate
our
heritage
and
enjoy
a
taste
of
Ireland
in
this
coffee
shop,
but
instead,
we
were
met
with
exclusion
and
prejudice.
It
is
deeply
disheartening
to
encounter
such
blatant
discrimination
in
this
day
and
age.
No
one
should
be
treated
with
such
disrespect
based
on
their
background
or
ethnicity.
As
customers,
we
should
be
valued
and
treated
with
kindness
and
fairness,
regardless
of
our
cultural
identities.
I
sincerely
hope
that
the
management
of
this
coffee
shop
takes
swift
action
to
address
this
unacceptable
behavior
and
implements
measures
to
ensure
that
such
discriminatory
incidents
never
happen
again.
I
urge
potential
customers
to
be
aware
of
this
unfortunate
experience
and
consider
other
options
that
prioritize
inclusivity
and
respect
for
all
patrons.
It
is
my
hope
that
this
review
serves
as
a
wake-up
call
for
the
coffee
shop
management,
reminding
them
of
the
importance
of
creating
a
welcoming
and
inclusive
environment
for
all
customers,
regardless
of
their
background.
