点评:I had a really disappointing experience here on April 4th 2026 around 1pm.
I walked in excited to support a small business and asked a simple question—whether they accepted credit cards. Instead of just answering, I was met with a judgmental look and told, “Yes, but there’s a surcharge—and we don’t take EBT or food vouchers.”
That response was unnecessary and honestly offensive. I didn’t ask about assistance programs, and there was no reason to bring that up. It felt like an assumption was made about me the moment I walked in.
Let me be clear: there is nothing wrong with people who use EBT or need assistance. What is wrong is making assumptions about someone and speaking to them in a way that reflects bias or prejudice.
For context, I’m a registered nurse—someone who works hard, contributes to my community, and deserves to be treated with the same respect as anyone else who walks through that door.
If you run a business—especially one that depends on the community—how you treat people matters. Respect should never be optional.
Do better.
翻译:2026年4月4日下午1点左右,我在这里经历了一次非常令人失望的体验。
我兴致勃勃地走进这家小店,想支持一下,于是问了一个简单的问题——他们是否接受信用卡。结果,店员非但没有回答,反而用一种带有偏见的眼神看着我,说道:“是的,但是要加收手续费——而且我们不接受EBT卡或食品券。”
这样的回应完全没有必要,而且说实话,非常冒犯人。我并没有询问任何援助项目,他们也完全没有理由主动提起这个话题。感觉他们从我进门的那一刻起就对我妄加揣测。
我想澄清一点:使用EBT卡或需要援助的人并没有错。错的是妄加揣测他人,并用带有偏见或歧视的方式与他们交谈。
作为背景,我是一名注册护士——一个努力工作、为社区做出贡献的人,理应像其他走进这家店的人一样,受到同样的尊重。
如果你经营一家企业——尤其是一家依赖社区的企业——你对待他人的方式至关重要。尊重绝不应是可有可无的。
做得更好。
