Subject: Marine refused service at local store
Thought I would pass this along.
On December 19th, 2004, my brother Jason F. Young Lance Corporal in the United States Marines was refused service at a convenience store named One Stop Grocery and Grill at 2001 8th Ave. in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
He was refused service because he is a Marine.
He went in to the store and asked the clerk (a man of middle eastern descent) for a can of tobacco, at which point the clerk asked him if he was in the military. (He had on a USMC shirt) After my brother replied, "yes sir" the man said nothing to him and looked at the other middle eastern man in the back of the store. Then both men proceeded to go in to the storeroom and did not come out. My brother yelled back to them a time or two and they did not respond.
Jason waited a few minutes and finally left the store.
I am very proud of the way that my brother reacted to the situation. I can honestly say if it had been me I would have cleared their counter and taken my can of tobacco. It is not fair that these people come into our country and enjoy the freedoms that my brother and so many others have fought for. They do not respect our service men and women who have died for them to be able to be here. They do not respect our country, and personally I think they need to go back to where they came from.
My main point in writing this is to get the word out about this particular store and discourage people from shopping there. If they can't respect or even sell to the people that are responsible for the rights they have, then they don't deserve to be in business.
Please email this to everyone you know to discourage them from shopping at this store.

If I owned the store I'd fire a clerk who treated any paying customer like that. I might laugh if the person slighted was a lib, but the employee would go.

Similar story made the rounds in Houston several months back. People went nuts when his mom called a local talk show. Video tape and the Marines description of the clerk proved the Marine made the entire thing up so he would have a good story to tell his family.

If it was a misunderstanding, why was the employee fired?
Good riddance. God Bless That Marine and His Sister. Thank God for the people that rallied to his side.

Business is Business. A customer of mine was dissing Bush the other day. I told her I didn't like to talk Politics while I was at work because I've lost friends that way. Told her that one friend even called me a Nazi. When you put it that way to average moderates, they respect that and stop. She actually admired it.

The customer is always right, no matter who he or she is! The person deserved to be fired.

Munirah Kabani is the name of the store owner, who stated in a related article that when he heard of the refusal to serve the Marine he fired the employee that minute. BS. He only caved after protests at his store, and he didn't want anyone to find out the clerk was an IA. I think a proper boycott of this store is in order. I.E. no right thinking American should patronize this establishment. I can bet the store owner was in the back and had a grin on his face when the whole thing happened.

According to the store owner, the incident was a misunderstanding and the employee in question was fired. What was the "misunderstanding" and why was the employee fired over it? Sounds like CBS' recent internal investigation. "No big problem" but one person was fired, 3 were asked to leave, and one had already announced his retirement date.
