Next assignment

In the course of my studies I have taken several classes in race and ethnicity.  I am currently taking a class on gender.  So my sensitivity to this issue may be a little more than an average person.  Anyway I went to a store today, and couldn't help but notice how the store clerks treated the Hmung people differently than they treated me.  There were two separate families in the store, one older woman shopping by herself, and another family with a small child. Both workers were middle age white women.  The worker was eager to help me in any way she could, but was short and annoyed by the other shoppers.  I found this to be quite offensive, as I did not even want to converse with the worker in the first place.  I just wanted to get my things and go.  The other shoppers needed help, and wanted to talk to the worker. They had to repeat themselves several times, and ended up just agreeing to what the worker was saying.  I somewhat understand where the worker may have been coming from, as the older lady was hard to understand, but still.  A second worker at the check out gave the two Hmung families the same treatment as the first worker.  She was very short, and did not even make eye contact!  I spent like $5 at the store, and the older lady spent $80.  This really makes me sad it has probably been going on forever, and I just have not noticed it.  I wonder what these workers think?  These shoppers are not going to just disappear if you treat them poorly, their money is as good as any ones.  I wonder how those employees would feel if they lost their jobs because everyone boycotted the store because of the poor service?
