I've had registers close before me all the time and the cashiers don't start profoundly explaining why. And I'm pretty sure they weren't being racist towards me.
Have you ever worked at a grocery store?
Yes, as a teenager. There's a big difference between closing a lane to further customers and walking away from someone who's already in line, and I do not believe you're too stupid or ignorant to know the difference.
Okay, so worked at a grocery store, but not a supermarket, I take it.
In a supermarket, the first register for instance is always closed while there are people in line, because the worker wouldn't get a break otherwise, as it's the first register and people tend towards it of there's not much line.
There's literally nothing suggesting racism in what happened.
Oh, my bad, you're just completely lacking in reading comprehension. Good luck with that.
I don't think you understands how shops work.
Does mommy do you all your shopping, then?
I can't say I'm particularly surprised that's the best you've got. People usually use their own insecurities to blindly attack others.
What am I supposed to do when you start with something as childish as "lol you can't read", because you actually don't know how grocery stores work and you don't have a reason for why this would've been racist?
