DISCRIMINATION
Posted Mar 2, 2011 by anonymous | 90 views | 0 comments
MR. JAMES F. ALLEN, OWNER OF THE DOVE DRY CLEANERS IN WILLIAMSVILLE, NY, REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY CREDIT CARDS FROM MY PARENTS-MY FATER IS AN 83 Y.O. RETIRED CIVIL ENGENEER AND PHD, AND MY MOTHER IS AN 82 Y.O. RETIRED PHYSICIAN-BECAUSE THEY SPOKE WITH A RUSSIAN ACCENT. HE INSISTED ON MY PARENTS PAYING 'CASH ONLY,' EVEN THOUGH CREDIT CARD SIGNS WERE CLEARLY DESPLAYED ON THE DOOR OF HIS BUSINESS, AND ON HIS BUSINESS BROCHURES. WHEN MY PARENTS ASKED MR. ALLEN TO FOLLOW HIS OWN RULES, HE DECIDED TO CALL THE POLICE IN ORDER 'TO SCARE' THEM. THE NEXT DAY I CAME TO MR. ALLEN'S STORE AND TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD BE REPRESENTING MY PARENTS FROM THAT DAY FORTH. MY PRESENCE ANGERED MR. ALLEN, AND HE REQUESTED TO MY PARENTS THAT I STAY OUT OF THEIR MATTERS.
