I've been going to Seattle Tonics frequently for over the past year and Im a regular customer supporting this business. But last week I used a $20 bill to pay for my purchase and the little short Asian guy that drives the Black Toyota 4runner had the audacity to check if my bill was real using a machine he had next to the register. Nobody has ever done this to me at this store before especially for lower denomination bills. I’d understand if it was a $100 bill. This was purely racist. And very petty, demeaning, humiliating, and unfair. I work hard for my money like everyone else does. If my skin was a different color he wouldn’t have looked at me and my money suspiciously and as a criminal. I was a little shocked because the staff are usually very friendly and helpful here. Be fair and equal and look at everyone else’s money with the same scrutiny as you did mine. It's interesting how Asians are the first to speak out against hate, racism, discrimination and inequality, when they're the main ones that are practicing it in our society. The owner needs to teach his employees proper customer service skills or they will continue to lose business and sales.
