racist tactics : denial of goods and services

[Ole Diamond Lil]

There are about three or four businesses in this neighborhood where I have
been told by clerks behind the counter that they "cannot find"
something or that
I cannot have something that I can in fact have and which is in fact clearly
visible behind the counter.

Tonight I went to the gas station. It locks at ten, so you have to ask
for snacks
and cigarettes. The Hershey bars were clearly visible from outside the store.

The clerk served the customer before me, fetching a beverage from the
refrigerator.
I in turn asked for the Hershey bar, which was KING-SIZED and clearly visible.
The clerk told me he could not find it.

Right.

At the White Hen, the clerk said she could not find my cigarettes,
doing an elaborate
and theatrical scanning of the shelves, claiming that she could not see them.

At the Chase bank, I was told that I could not withdraw fifty dollars
from a check that
I was depositing THAT DAY. I had deposited similar checks two months
previously and
was never told this. The "teller" told me it was because I did not
have "matching funds".

This defies all precedent in my experiences with the bank. I do
believe that "Fernando"
was behind this and possibly the others (he uses the phone and lies a
LOT). He used
to work at the Bank One downtown - I brought a jar of pennies to him.

I deposited the check into the cash machine instead, and got my cash
RIGHT AWAY.

Bye bye, you telephone harasser and LIAR.

Not to mention information thief and trespasser.

I told the woman in the White Hen that this was a violation of my civil
rights - to pretend
that they don't have a product in stock when they do in order to avoid
serving me.
I know that the fascists are behind this and playing games everywhere I go.

I'm sick of it. There is so much surveillance and street theater and
so many games
on the "main drag", the main business strip that I simply do not use it
anymore.
That sort of harassment is a clear flouting of the civil rights laws,
and it is intended to be so.

I don't like being LIED TO by store clerks who pretend that something
isn't there when
they can clearly SEE IT. This isn't the 1950s south, and the parties
behind it really need
to recognize their utter failure to prevent the progress of civil
rights and their failure to
prevent such legislation and GROW UP and adapt.
