Hello Soror's and SF's
I know here where I live there is a beauty supply store that is run by this Korean lady. I have mixed emotions about this entire situation. She does give discounts to college students and she does employee african-american college students as well. I guess that is a good thing. I did have one MAJOR incident with her a while ago which really had me upset. I went into the store with a friend of mine one day to purchase a bottle of spritz. It was the first thing that I picked up when I went into the store and after walking around browsing for anything else that I may have needed (which turned out to be nothing) I decided against buying the spritz. I placed it back on the shelf where I got if from which was in the back of the store. By this time my friend was in line to pay for her things and I told her that I would just meet her in the car. At that time I walked out of the store to my car and had hardly opened my door when this little Korean woman came running out of the store after me wanting to check my purse. The woman had the audacity to think that I had stolen a bottle of $2.oo spritz. I was so mad that I was seeing red. After calling her everything but a child of God I proceeded to show her what was in my purse as well as pulled out at least $50.00 to show her that I did not have to steal a bottle of spritz. I not so nicely let her know that every black person who walks into her store is a crook and that the ones she should be watching are the ones she let get away. I also told her that if it weren't for blacks patronizing her store than she wouldn't have a business at all. White women certainly aren't known for going to beauty supply stores the way that black women are. After that I refused to go into that store again for at least a year.
