The sad fact of the matter is that in this day and age companies have to pay to train people to learn how to deal with other people in customer service. When you work in customer service that is the field you chose, and you have to know how to interact with other people of all nationalities.

What you do when your home life is your business but what you doing the public reflects on you as a person. I used to have a co-worker back in the day she was an older white lady and she was very very outspoken about how she did not care for people of the African American descent.

I told her whatever you do in your personal life off the clock is your business but while you are on this stores clock on the shift that you work you would treat everybody accordingly and be friendly and nice and do the right thing.

I told her that I would fire her if she had too many complaints on her for being a racist. Funny thing is Katrina happened, and she wound up going to Denver Colorado where her sister was, and my old boss never asked for her to come back.

He did however asked me to come back and manage two stores instead of the one I was already managing but I didn't do so at the time because I was living in Texas.

There's nothing funny about racism it's embedded in some people's hearts, and no matter how much you tried to go out of your way just change it and make it better some people will just never get it, or will they ever want to get it.

I have even had people tell me that they like some black people and not other black people and I'm like WTF??!!

And I have even had people of other nationalities say that they like some of their people but not all of their people. How can you like some of your own culture and not all of your own culture?

I don't get it....
