Should I continue to buy your goods when I cannot use your restroom?
My daughter and I like to go to a particular shopping area in the inner-city because you can always find some good deals on clothes, hair goods, linen, and etc. I grew up shopping in this neighborhood and although the area has been sketchy for some time, we used to enjoy shopping there.
There are so many stores and places to eat in the area but guess what? We can shop, and eat, but we cannot use their bathroom, we are always told that the bathroom is out of order or straight out told that we cannot use it.
My daughter went shopping in this area this week and she really had to go to the bathroom and it was an emergency. She was told that she can't use the bathroom and she had to search and search she finally went to a place where she could go but she had to buy something in order to use the restroom.
We have always been told by others to patronize the inner city and their businesses but I don't think it makes sense to continue to support people who don't support us. If I order food in your restaurant or buy your clothes and I know there is a bathroom and you treat me like a second-class citizen then it may now be a bad idea to keep spending my money in these run-down neighborhoods.
I can go to the mall where there is always an available bathroom and I don't have to ask whether or not I can use it. I can shop in other supermarkets in different neighborhoods and I can use their facilities.
Some people have told me that a lot of stores are experiencing damage and a lot of people destroying the bathrooms and this is why they are restricting their use. Well, people at the shopping mall will leave the bathroom dirty but there is always someone there to clean it up and I feel, these inner-city stores could do the same thing.
My money doesn't seem to be important in these areas or I would be treated with courtesy and with compassion. So many people have physical ailments like myself and should not have to beg to use the bathroom. We have to know that we are being treated unfairly and do something about it. I guess you really don't need my money, huh?
I do not care about your mom and pop stores if you are not aware of my needs. You have to make your customers your priority. This is discrimination from our own race but nobody wants to admit it.
I will only support those who support me from now on!
