if anyone needs to learn a lesson it's you.

no one is going to make change for you unless
a) they're a nice person
b) you buy something from them

Blenz have no obligations to change your $20. You know ordering change from a bank cost them time and money right?

Go buy a cookie or coffee. Dumbshit. And no, whether you look brown/black/yellow/white/green/rainbow/naked has nothing to do with not giving a non-customer change.

Better then being turned away because they think your a criminal.

I think I need blond streaks and a shave like this guy on the right, and not look like the guy on the left.
from one of the threads I was reading

It sounds like you were turned away because you have poor communication skills. Hell, even in this thread it takes you two or three posts for you to get the point you want to make across.
No wonder she was confused initially. You asked for a "five out of twenty" before you made your intentions known. Shes supposed to serve coffee, not exchange currency.
Shes a barista, not a bank teller.



You've also made it a point to mention specific races, your Filipino friend, the Caucasian and Asian people at Blenz. What does this matter? If things like this matter so much to you maybe you should make a point of sticking to businesses where you feel "racially comfortable"



I'm not flaming you here but it seems like you have a real chip on your shoulder about races. You mentioned that it "dawned on you that your immigrant appearance" led to having your request denied. Not the fact that she may have not had enough small bills to float her thru to the rest of her shift, and not the fact that her job is not to make change for people.

The next time you want change, buy something. Don't walk away from a situation with a sour taste in your mouth thinking that you've been victimized by a person who you feel wanted to serve any race but your own. You don't know this person behind the counter. She deserves better than to be talked about on a forum by a guy who came to Revscene to get some sort of validation.

You mention that the television propagandizes the way you look as being a "terrorist". What the hell does a "terrorist" even look like anyway? I honestly don't know.

I think you should take a look at how you approach the world. Making a big deal out of this situation and continuing to try to convince us of your perspective shows an unhealthy mindset. I hope you realize this before you become a bitter, jaded, bigot.

lol A lot of places don't give change unless you buy something. Think about it a lot of people who buy things use 5s 10s or even 20s even 1 out of 20 customer they serve just want to change it going to cause them a lot of issue.

Was your car parked outside where she could see it? Maybe that's why she didn't give you change.

Complete troll. F&F picture? Cmon

Its pretty obvious now; unfortunately your troll attempt wasn't interesting, provocative, or even remotely funny. Therefore you deserve another 500 fails, and a permanent ban.

Please bring something original next time you create an account at your sisters house; bitch.

Blondes and Asians. They've got it made!

Unfotunately, if they hook up and produce a baby, it may not have the necessary genetic features to benefit from society like their parents.

Op, I don't think you were discriminated, but if it were to happen in a place like Rosedale, then I'd think twice about it.

Sorry to those who live in Rosedale, but it is KKK country, LOL.


Isn't that where Berzerker used to live? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

So you've been here since grade 2, but you call them "Cliff's notes" and not "Coles notes"?


That aside, let's be honest. It seems a lot like you're grasping at straws. She didn't make change, and you wanted her to be 'wrong' for some reason or another. Your friend went in to bitch her out afterwards which is totally going to make her more conducive to helping you and other people in the future.

Walk out, live with it, and move on.

I didn't even want to bother pointing out the fact that he clearly stereotypes people as being racists against individuals who appear to be of middle-eastern descent.
