I was renting a Hertz car at LAX and the black lady behind the counter was being as nasty as could be. BIG CHIP on her shoulder. I said, “You have quite an attitude don't ya’?” After that she was nice as could be. Some people just need calling out.
On a business trip to SC I stopped at a Burger King. The black girl behind the counter seemed very annoyed with everything I did or said. Rolling eyes, sighing, etc. I thought it odd as I was being very nice. I sat and watched while eating. Every white person that came up got the same treatment. Every black person that was waited on was treated with a smile and courtesy.
Just the way it is with some people.
You reminded me of another incident involving black attitude toward white people. A few years ago, I was beside myself with anger when I retrieved my brand new suitcase from a luggage carousel when returning from a trip. This was the first time I had ever used the suitcase, a big wheeled number. The zipper had not only been opened, it had been ripped from the fabric. My belongings were falling out of the now uncloseable suitcase. Can you say TSA? I used a tie strap to close it the best I could, hauled it onto a rental cart and took it to the airline’s baggage claim. The black woman behind the counter kept singing rock songs as I described what I found on the carousel. I asked her to please stop singing, as it annoyed me and I was already upset enough. So she sang ALL THE LOUDER. Really mature, right? She then turned her name plate around so I couldn’t read it (I already had, loser) and proceeded to be as nasty as possible, drawing out what was already an unpleasant incident to a very “ha-ha-I-got-you-under-my-power” trip for her. Well ha-ha on HER. I retrieved my camera from my backpack and photographed the suitcase from all angles. I then went home and wrote a letter to the president of the airline, whose stock was in the tank. I asked him, with his airline’s stock in the sub-basement, is this really the kind of person you want representing your airline? I actually received a personal letter from him apologizing and promising action on this employee, who I hope is a former employee. Wow, she was really very purposely being nasty and making an upset passenger even more so.
