I've been asked at least a couple of dozen times if I worked in some retail establishment. Asked more than that if I could help a short lady get something from the top shelf.
Saturday I got asked a question as if I were an employee. I said I don’t work here and went on with my life. The person said, oh, sorry and went on with her life. And yes, I would be a bad person if I went off. Also, I’ve been cut in line on. The person didn’t see me. When I told them the line was behind me, the said oh, sorry, and went to the back of the line. Everyone moved on.
Mrs. Worf's story about being ignored strikes me as thoroughly made up. She is hard to miss and she radiates bitchiness. Who is going to cut in front of a big black lady? This isn't 1964 in the South. No one was cutting in front of black shoppers in Eugene in the 1970s or ever since that. Now if she had a loaded cart and then left it while going back for a forgotten item and she wasn't back when it was her turn at the cashier, then sure. That sounds plausible. She got butt hurt when asked to help out a short lady. So it's not like embellishing is outside her wheelhouse.
Michelle Obama has horror story of when someone cut in front of her in-line waiting to order with her kids.Ya, that never happened to a white person...ever.
And now the real reason why she was upset.http://twitter.com/DrBrittaniJ/status/1393623372496506882It's about class not race. She was just upset that someone mistook her for a person who worked in retail. Which is really the same problem Michelle had with it.

I'm white and have been asked several times in a store where this or that is.
I hear it's a jungle out there

Michelle Obama has horror story of when someone cut in front of her in-line waiting to order with her kids.Ya, that never happened to a white person...ever. It's pretty fucking revealing that the BIG examples both she and Obama cited as "evidence" that even they encounter racism in AmeriKKKa today, were being confused with service people and the story about the white woman in the ice cream store who didn't notice that she was already waiting in line.That's was it. Those were the BIG examples of what a racist shit hole this country still is. Never mind that this racist country gave her a racial quota position at both Princeton and Harvard that neither her grades or test scores warranted. Got her a job in a top 15 law firm out of school that she clearly wasn't qualified for and then got her a make work job at a hospital where she made nearly $300K a year. But is she grateful? Fuck no. She thinks that racism held her back. Both Michelle and her husband have benefited far, far more from the color of their skin then they were ever harmed by it and it's not even close.
