You guys don't know how lucky you are.

im a new zealand born (white) male..........life is what you make it but sometimes other wankers just make it difficult for those that are trying to make it.........

Yup, I agree 100%, but as has been said time and time and time again, there's nothing to suggest the manager was being racist.

If anyone is being racist here, it's the op who brought it up in the first place.

^^ WTF 8O isnt the stereotype of the buyer who happens to be asian, an owner of a takeaways, therefore buying brocoli or what ever the heck it is for his business being a tad racist???

No whats odd is your big ass post about bugger all.

Then at the end of it you chuck this

in there with no reference in the rest of your post about race

The inital poll/problem here is about racism. There was no racial based decisons made, unless the op comes back and enlightens us more.

Countdown in town regularly has "no trade supplied" signs all over the soft drink isles, Ive never paid it much attention cos im not a trade customer... just saying that the premise is not new

Get a grip, fuckface.

This is a racism issue, but the underlying original problem was the stupid trade-buying policy. Would this have happened had another manager been on? Probably not. Just an overzealous idiot, justifying his ego. Not much unlike yourself.

If he said "get out of my f*$king store because you're asian" then you could put this down to racism. How-ever you are ASSUMING that the manager made the assumption that you were a trade customer because you are asian.
There is a difference between steriotypes and racism. Even if your assumption is true and he did believe you owned a take-aways because you are asian, he banned you because he thought you were a trade customer, NOT simply because you were asian.

Where have you gotten stereotyping from?

You've gotten so outraged at him assuming what their intentions were, yet you've been making your own assumptions the whole time

The manager could have genuinely thought he recognised them and that they had been shopping in bulk multiple times. That's against company policy, so he acted upon it. The whole situation got blown out of proportion due to the fact that the only person who can understand and speak English fluently was telling him to fuck off you fucking racist....

Why are you assuming that because he's a white person in a position of authority that he was acting racist towards them?
If he was an Asian would you still be saying he was racist?
If he had ordered a trespass notice on a group of white shoppers would he be racist?

I think this thread was locked before it began.

Wow what a cock, can you do any other tricks?
Feel free to keep it out of the thread (so maybe some conversation can happen) and pm me if you have to.

David R: on the money :thumbsup:

BLAZED_RACER · 1st September 2006, 10:20 PM

heck, i shop at the local countdown and BULK BUY MULIPLE TIMES A WEEK!!!! its called shopping!!!

am i missing something here,?! isnt the o.G problem about the guy with his family going into the store to buy veges, and then getting kicked out because shop management believes they are bulk buying for a business?! in this case, he is asian. he must be buying for a chinese takeaways!.

this would not have happend if he was another race. would they have anything to say to a group buying sacks of 20kg spuds for a hangi?! i highly doubt it.

dw33f0r: lay off flamming each other here, we are just having a debate... no need to call that fuckface hayce a "fuckface"

You can't say that this wouldn't happen if it was another race... Got proof?
In that sense I think the thread needs a nice big lock, because this particular situation is never going to be settled. You assume there was racial stereotyping going on, I assume their wasn't, neither of us can prove or disprove it either way

BLAZED_RACER · 1st September 2006, 10:29 PM

haha, yeah, town time, singled out party out the outback tonight... =]

UPDATE:

I was at Glenfield foodtown, while I was at checkout, this Asian (Korean I think, telling by the accent) woman was throwing a fit, she was bitching about something and want to return it or some shit, she was throwing her groceries on the ground, she throw one of the canned foods and nearly hit an elderly woman, unfortunately I didn't capture the climax, all I manage to capture was her bitching afterwards.
