My
partner
and
I
are
tourists,
visiting
Toronto
for
the
first
time.
We
stopped
by
here
to
grab
some
hot
drinks
and
warm
up
from
the
cold.
There
was
a
girl
with
face
piercings
who
was
the
only
cashier/barista
when
we
came
in
on
January
22nd
—
not
sure
what
her
name
was
—
and
we
found
her
to
be
kind
of
rude.
We
were
curious
why
most
shops
seemed
closed
in
the
neighbourhood,
and
we
proceeded
to
make
small
talk
with
her,
indicating
it
was
our
first
time
in
Toronto
and
in
leslieville,
and
were
wondering
why
most
shops
were
closed.
In
response,
she
laughed
in
our
face
and
sarcastically
replied
that
it
was
Monday,
with
an
attitude
of
“duh,
it’s
Monday,
of
course
everything
is
closed”.
It
felt
passive
aggressive
considering
we’re
tourists
to
Canada,
and
we
didn’t
know
that
shops
around
were
closed
on
Monday.
She
seemed
to
treat
other
patrons
better
and
so
much
more
friendlier,
so
not
sure
if
she
was
racially
profiling
me
as
I’m
not
white.
The
chai
tea
we
got
was
served
in
very
dirty
mugs
with
stains.
We
also
didn’t
enjoy
our
time
there
or
the
tea,
because
the
girl
was
having
a
very
loud
conversation
with
some
regular
patrons
who
came
in
after
us,
and
she
was
sharing
some
very
personal
information
about
her
life,
about
being
on
medications,
her
boyfriend
getting
a
vasectomy,
and
how
her
family
slapped
her/
physically
abused
her
during
Christmas
or
something.
It
was
felt
inappropriate
and
unprofessional
to
be
talking
about
such
personal
things
so
loudly
for
everyone
to
hear
in
the
coffee
shop.
It
made
me
and
my
partner
uncomfortable
and
we
couldn’t
wait
to
leave.
Overall,
it
was
the
worst
coffee
shop
I’ve
ever
been
to
since
coming
to
Canada.
