Elderly woman racist to us at starbucks, what would you do?

[Exophase]

She should have kept the crazy in then.
Knowing the area, old people will just sit in a mcdonald's or other fast food place for hours on end just sitting there because it's too cold to sit at the park for hours on end.

Everyone should keep the crazy in but we really have no idea if she was going to buy anything or not.

I wonder if there's a forum somewhere where this woman is posting about how she was discriminated against for being old.

Oh snap, it really is freedomsbeat.

AARP?

Her: "bastardise young brownies tried to verbally abuse poor old little me...so many of them, and only 1 of me, the last of the whities in the neighborhood that I grew up in."

This thread sounded surprisingly familiar...until I realized the op had a name change.
Search freedomsbeat212 and overreaction.

OMG, that's what happened to freedomsbeat212?

Karma is an old woman at Starbucks.

Holy crap, now everything makes sense. I'm not going to bother with this thread anymore.

The elderly are considered a protected minority as well. You describe the store as packed. Did you expect her to stand? How much privacy can you expect in a crowded store? If she lived in the neighborhood, it could be that she knew most everyone who comes in there. Maybe you should have given up your seat to her as a courtesy.

Actually, freedomsbeat212 is too poor to read your evidence.. But I voted YES anyways.. My mother had a stroke during her 3rd trimester so I was born "different".. Every day is a struggle but I understand why people call me retarded.. I mean... I'm used to it.. Really.. I am..

So what did starbucks corporate say?

 

[Squisher]

I would have spit in her coffee.

They are investigating the allegations. (Translation: They are registering to the forums to post about it.)

Seems relevant

 

[Apathetic]

Yeah, considering I placed a complaint with corporate this morning, I won't be visiting that starbucks again.

I didn't report the manager as racist, just as indifferent to customer's concerns.

If you want anything to be done about it, you have to report it up the chain. Otherwise, it will be ignored. Your call.

That would have interfered with OP's victimhood.

A manager is way more likely to get canned for yelling at an old lady than for ignoring a whiny nerd.
