The other DD thread reminded me of this.
My boyfriend's father is Jewish, and while my boyfriend is not practicing (his mother isn't), he has somewhat Jewish features. Most importantly what I like to refer to as 'the nose'. It's big and I love it, I happen to think it's one of his best features. The point is, most people can tell that at least one of his parents is practicing. Even if this lady couldn't tell, it's still rude.
Now I wasn't personally there for this incident, but he told me immediately after it happened and I was pissed. He can sometimes come off as a little rude, but he never gets to SC level and what this woman said was WAY out of line. One day he goes into a DD and gets himself a regular iced coffee. He gets it and it tastes, well, crappy. Either the coffee was burnt, it sat out too long, or something got into the machine. Either way, he hated the taste. He asked for another one, stating that the first one tasted incredibly burnt, and they made him another. That one tasted nasty too. They remade it a total of three times and each time it seemed to get progressively worse. He then, as politely as possible, asked for a refund. Now, he wasn't acting outrageous or rude, he didn't drink the whole thing and then complained, he merely asked for a refund.
The woman then shot him the dirtiest look as she was processing the transaction and uttered the following:
"Get your money and get the hell out of my store, you dirty Jew."
WTF? Did you really just say that? Who even says something like that anymore? And how could you possibly think that's an acceptable thing to say to someone EVER?
I asked if he complained and he merely said he didn't want to deal with it. I tried to get details out of him but he refused to complain to a manager. He just told me which one it was, and we avoid that one from now on.
