Today,
I
had
an
experience
at
Dollar
Tree
that
broke
my
heart
and
shows
the
lack
of
respect
some
people
have
for
different
Ethnic
groups.
There
was
a
Brazilian
lady,
in
front
of
me
making
an
exchange
of
3
packs
of
pads.
As
many
of
you
know,
there
is
no
longer
tax
on
feminine
hygiene
products
in
Florida,
so
she
would
have
initially
not
paid
any
taxes.
The
new
items
did
have
tax
so
there
was
a
total
of
.28
cents
due.
At
the
time,
the
customer
asks,
why
the
balance,
since
she
thought
she
was
doing
an
even
exchange.
The
cashier
quickly
calls
the
manager,
Cassie,
and
she
cashier
explains
the
customers
concern.
Cassie,
THE
MANAGER,
looks
at
the
customer
and
says
the
balance
is
.28
because
this
is
America
and
we
have
taxes
here,
so
you
need
to
pay
it.
THIS
moment
caught
my
attention,
so
I
started
seeing
how
it
would
unfold
as
the
lady
was
in
front
of
me.
The
customer
remained
calm,
simply
asking,
I
just
don't
understand
why,
I
am
sorry
do
you
speak
Spanish
?
Cassie
responds
with
"
This
is
where
you
are
going
to
hate
me,
but
this
is
United
States
and
we
speak
ENGLISH
here,
I
don't
need
to
speak
in
Spanish."
The
customer
remained
respectful,
never
raising
her
voice
and
says
I
can
pay
it,
I
just
don't
understand
why
I
need
too.
At
this
point,
I
jump
in
and
1)
EXPLAIN
why
and
2)
Respectfully,
tell
off
the
IGNORANT
manager
who
works
at
this
store.
THIS
RACIST
person,
didn't
have
even
the
decency
to
attempt
to
explain
to
the
customer.
I
am
sure
that
she
is
so
ignorant,
she
didn't
know
herself,
BUT
she
had
NO
reason
to
treat
a
customer
this
way.
When
you
call
Dollar
Tree
customer
service,
the
first
thing
it
says,
is
For
English
press
1,
For
Spanish
Press
2,
but
this
racist
woman,
had
the
audacity
to
embarrass
this
lady
in
front
of
other
customers
and
treat
her
badly
over
a
situation
that
could
have
been
handled
gracefully
by
simply
explaining
to
her
that
the
original
bought
items
were
tax
exempt.
I
will
NEVER
go
back
to
this
Dollar
Tree
as
long
as
this
racist
individual
is
there.
