Just this March on the way back from Florida - we stopped in Georgia
at a Taco Bell and I took Claire in to use the bathroom. I walked up
and stood in back of the line section to view the menu while she went.
Just me and 2 black workers. The one gal leaning on the drive-thru
register with her chin in her hand turned around and looked at me. I
said "Hi. Hope you don't mind that I'm looking in here at your menu
for a sec..." and she gave me a dirty-ass look, no hello back, not
even a hint of a customer-service smile. Sheesh, I can't imagine
keeping your job if you treat everyone like that, but it could have
been just that, so I can't even say it was because I was white, so I
don't say that it was. lol.
