The store in Walnut Hill Shopping is very bias if you are Black/African American.
My boyfriend and I decided to stop by after work on Saturday to purchase some alcoholic beverages to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday. When we enter into the store, it was indeed a bit busy. Me and my boyfriend went separate was be cause I wanted to purchase whiskey and I went into another lane to find the ingredients I needed to make apple martinis. When I was in a far side of the store by myself, minding my own business, and tall Hispanic dude decided to follow me on the same lane. While I was looking at the large bottles of Apple Smirnoff Vodka and checking the price, the dude walks up, I stop to look to see who the stranger was and then he turns to a door within the same lane to pretend that he wasn’t following me. Other black employees in the store immediately greeted me and my boyfriend while we were in the store, and even offered assistance, the other guy however, did not.
As both of us went to the counter to purchase all 6 bottles of alcohol, the same dude came all the way to the counter just to watch us as we purchased and then walked away. The dude didn’t thanked us or spoke to us at all, which was pathetic all along.
This was my first time visiting that location and it will be my last due to the unprofessionalism and prejudice I experienced at that store. I definitely recommend everyone to purchase their beverages elsewhere.
However, the same store in Addison, Texas I really enjoyed because the were more friendly, hospitable, and very helpful to provide assistance. I look forward to continue purchasing at that location.
