Discrimination Inside Three Retail Stores

The discrimination that I stomached inside three retail stores in America.

Like I said, I’ve shopped in many cities, places, and stores. I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. One retail store sets an exemplary and commendable record. Again, I’m a writer. I bought my first laptop, a Compaq from the RadioShack retail store in Torrance, California in May 1998. I also bought three electrical pianos from RadioShack. I bought a used Baldwin piano from Carson Mall in Carson, California. I might add that I bought my son’s desktop, Apple from the Sears retail store in Torrance, California in December 1993, and about ten portable heaters at Sears and Home Depot.

In 1992, I bought my first word processor, Brothers from Office Depot, and Maytag refrigerator from Home Depot in Torrance, California. In 2007, I bought another laptop, Compaq from Office Depot in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1993, I bought my first car, a second-hand Pontiac Fiero. In 1994, I bought my second car, 1995 Dodge Caravan, and in 1996, I bought my third car, 1996 Dodge Neon. Owing to my physical disability, I gave up driving in 1999. I plan to return to it in the near future. I also bought furniture and several electrical pianos from many retail stores across America. I’ve donated every single one of them to various charitable organizations. Please bear in mind that I didn’t include gifts from my father. In his lifetime, my father presented me with gifts, love, and money.

Because shopping’s such a constructive experience, I’d rather focus on the confirmatory aspects. Never once did Target, Office Depot, Walt-mart, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Sak’s Fifth Avenue discriminate or disrespect me. As always, I visited these retail stores with my walking cane.

In July 2004, I also suffered discrimination at University on Phoenix during the time that I was attending the MBA program. I was an A student, but the professor lowered it, and cursed me and my mother out in the classroom. I’m indeed thankful to University of Phoenix for doing the right thing. They rectified my grade from C to B+, and paid me $5,000.00.

In closing, I also stomached some form of discrimination at the RadioShack retail store in Port Orchard, Washington in February 2004. Ten of my books were deleted from the c-drive of my laptop during the time that I requested RadioShack to copy them onto ten floppy disks. When I retrieved my laptop, and the ten floppy disks from the RadioShack retail store, all my books had mysteriously disappeared from the c-drive of my laptop, and floppy disks. The most wonderful news is that the defense attorney for RadioShack Corporation returned the books to me via a cd-rom on my birthday on June 21, 2004. On the same day, he presented me with a check for $2,000.00.

“I truly learned from you. You’re the best defense attorney. Thank you very much,” I said.

“It’s my pleasure,” he said.

“The pleasure’s all mine,” I added.

I’m truly indebted to him because I had the fortune to come across one of the greatest defense attorneys in America, if not the greatest. Thank you two million times, RadioShack!

    This retail kitchen store states they have friendly service. In fact, the sales clerk was rude and discriminatory. This event happened on Jan. 23, 2009. I was shopping with two people with physical disabilities. One was using a shopping cart to assist with walking because we did not have the wheelchair with us. There was no sign stating we could not come in with a shopping cart. We were ask to leave because we had a cart. I stated that she needed a cart to walk. (There was plenty of room because no one but us were in the store!) The sales clerk said she would have to leave. When I stated that is against the law to refuse us service because of a physical disability. She said rudely, she should have a walker. She said the store is just too small to walk with a cart. What about using a wheelchair if it is too small for a cart? We were not asked what she could assist us on finding! She just stated that we would have to leave. I called to speak to their management but no one returned a call. I guess they do not want business from people with disabilities. PLEASE DO NOT SHOP AT the KITCHEN PLACE either online or in their retail locations in Marlborough, MA or in New Hampshire. I do not know how cooking.com could have any association with this establishment.

    wow, if i was you i wouldv’e looked at that man straight in the eyes, wouldv’e said “how rude!!!”, then hit him with a cane haha. but honestly i think discrimination should be outlawed, i hate it when others are looked down upon. it’s a recheted sight (ha can’t spell) but this article will most definetely help with my english debate tomorrow on why discrimination upon anyone is wrong and completely unethical. i’m so sorry by the way about your disability. i hope you are never discriminated again, i admire you, i really do.

    “Assaulted” you? She simply touched you. You truly sound like a nightmare customer.
