Something happened at Myer on Saturday
[Scene]: Standing behind mens counter having just arrived at the start of my shift. Start folding. Hear a couple infront in the U-Tech section mumbling
Lady: ... I'll just ask. [walks over to me] Excuse me, would you know what it says on this shirt?
Me: [Looks closer at a white button/collared shirt and notices a smaller dark pattern] Umm.. no sorry, I dont. (It had tiny pairs of characters in columns so from a distance it looked like black stripes)
Lady: Oh. Do you know what language it is?
Me: Yeah, its some sort of asian. [Glare at Lady]
Lady: And you can't read it? Ok.. [walks away]
Best opportunity ever for me to play the racist card to a stranger.. and I missed it.
