Sales Associate and Poor Customer Service

sales associates: Shopping while not white, I've learned, is to expect the un-expected when you walk into a store to spend your money on what you need or want, according to Rabble. I'm not talking about the usual poor customer service or dealing with a cranky sales associate. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Shopping while not white is being treated in a bizarre -- often discriminatory and humiliating -- way in a store because of your looks, skin colour or accent. My Mediterranean olive skin combined with my dark curly hair signifies to sales associates that I'm an immigrant, which in my case is factually correct. I've learned that my skin colour in Canada is called olive although my "true match" compact says light ivory. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
