maldini: I never said this is a Chinese problem? All I said was..I saw some chinese ladies doing this sort of thing. Why is everyone so sensitive nowadays that one cannot mention the ethnicity of the "crooks" in their posts? So next time I see something happen, should I even mention the gender? Or will that be labeled as sexism too? I am not discriminating against Chinese nor am I implying all crimes committed this way is by Chinese. All I wrote is a summary of what I saw and it so happens this time I saw 2 Chinese ladies who did it.
Chobit: It is easy to say now how I should have went to the staff..but what would you do if you were holding your baby around, trying to get your groceries done and checking out of the supermarket? By the way, they left the area before and I didn't follow them. I went to buy baby formula. Wouldn't it be weird and dangerous to follow them around with my baby with me? And I saw them check out AFTER I left superstore. I was standing outside feeding my baby when I saw them check out with no problems. What should I have done? Rush over to the cashier, stop them in the middle of the transaction and tell them what I THOUGHT happened? Again, I DIDN'T see them switch the price tag. This is all an assumption brought up by their conversation.
As for the comment about how caucasians are smart, I never implied or wrote which culture the cashier belonged to. In fact, there are smart and dumb people in every culture..and not all CEOs are smart and not all cashiers are lower-class either. Each person is in a different situation and maybe some people are smarter than those who excel academically and some people are more socially-smart. Being stuck in a job that is considered "lower-class" doesn't mean the person is automatically intellectually placed in that level.
AND, I don't read the newspaper or magazines at a grocery or bookstore. I look at the cover and if I want to buy it, I will. Not everyone looks through the books or magazines as you have implied. |
