Food & Grocery Best Posts in Thread: Robinson's Grocery Store has Anti - Foreigner Day

Not really but there are one or two normally empty, If just using the ATM I guess all ok but if you need to go in then we Park in Robinsons and walk across

 

1. There are *basket only* lines and then normal lines. I went in a normal line that did NOT have a sign that said cart only but that is how the cashier reacted.
2. I am actually disabled and have a hard time standing for longer periods due to back and ankle issues. However my VA card means nothing to them.
3. No one else cares about premier cards and when I do have one when shopping with my fiancee they do NOT remove non premier card holders from the line.

 

Mike it is not Actually in the Mall but out on the Road that goes back to Town toward City Hardware, it is on the Right hand side not far from the Junction.

 

Jim I can understand but why do you not use the PNB at Robinsons as you live that way? They do have at times spare parking in Front but it is just a Hop over when shopping
Just a thought

 

That's racism in my country if you a senior, you are a senior, no matter what country you come from. I go sometimes in that senior lines, even try more than one time, the cashier tells me to go ahead of 4-6 younger persons, I always refuse, because I'm soooo young in my own mind ha ha.

 

These days come around now and then.

I've had stock clerks look at me like I'm a monster when I've asked nicely if they could check in the stock for a specific common item that's shelf was empty.

I've had that basket issue a couple of times but the funniest is at Robinson when I had a basket with half a dozen items and was in non basket lane and they told me carts only!. I put my basket in the nearby cart and asked if that was good enough. At the end I did make them call the manager which I scolded and thus scolded said employee.

I've waited 15 minutes inside Robinsons (well checking back every couple minutes) for the person who's supposed to work that candy by the weight area near the entrance. Finally asked the security guard who passed it to the nearby manager who promptly found the worker. That worker was pissed I dared interupt them and not just wait longer.

I've been in the senior line before (I'm 38) and have had a young Filipina go through ahead of me no issue but when I get there they say seniors only. Usually they take me no issue however. I've had the same at the premier card lane at Hypermart w/o my fiancee's card and the person infront never presented me but they scolded me.

I will say again though while I know it will raise controversy with the old farts that senior citizens does not mean just old people... it means old *citizens*. As we are not citizens we honestly don't qualify. Now most business's just not to cause hassles have adopted policies that any old fart qualifies be technically have no right to that. However since a number of years back there was a big controversy by old white foreigners I believe a ruling was made or some sort saying every elderly person qualified. It comes down to in our western countries we're overly nice to foreigners, immigrants, and illegal aliens so we expect everyone else to shoot themselves in the foot the same way for us.

 

That explains why I got a parking ticket outside of PNB whilst visiting the bank.
