I recently needed to get some pictures developed. I decided to use Wal-Mart's website. I went to my Wal-Mart on Sunday at noon to pick up my pictures. A supervisor from another department had to hunt down the photo shop employee. When I asked about my pictures she told me they weren't ready. I assumed the curt attitude I received was because I had gotten her in trouble for leaving the area. My next encounter with a staff member was at the deli. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly with the person in front of me in line. When it was my turn she was exceptionally short with me bordering on full on rude. When I went to check out I received similar treatment from the cashier, and again similar curt treatment from the loss prevention clerk at the door.
The way I was treated left me with a distinct sense that the color of my skin negatively affected the way I was treated. Given the number of negative interactions with so many staff members based on my race/SES I got a very clear message that white people are not welcome in my Wal-Mart( 4500 Fayetteville Rd, Raleigh, NC *******)
