I am not trying to say all Chinese people are racism but I have a true story to tell. Back in 2008, when I use to work at the Chinese gourmet express, at rose-dale mall. Before that; I heard rumors saying that people doesnt like working/quit there because the manager was mean. But I didnt care/pay much attention to that; I apply and got in because I really need a job. At first things were alright but later along the road; the manager sorta becoming mean and disrespect to me, most of the employees I work with; doesnt like him. I was having a hard time working there but I push & keep myself working hard to make money- try to have a good day and dont think negative. A couple months has pass; one day; a customer came in to order an order of lo mein and my co worker accidentally give the customer too much of lo mien [my manager that time was the cashier] and He mistake & thought that it was me who serve that customer lo mien. He give me the Angry eyes & came up to pinch me in the arm really hard out of the blue and yell at me harshly: why you give so much lo mein?! I replied back: I didnt.!? It was busy hour time; Customers was there looking at him treating me like that. Then my coworker respond: it wasnt her! I did it! Then everything got quiet, I look down as my hat cover my face I was trying to hold my tears but it burst out and my manager told me to go the bathroom. I ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and cried. I didnt know what to do, needed help; I was scare. Later on; by the end of the day of work, he held my held and said somethings I forgot but he never say sorry. I feel like hes kind of molesting me grabbing my hand. Like wth? I didnt anything; I was sad and just smile. I came home telling my family about it; they were unhappy but Lucky I was off work the next day; a bruise appear where he pinch me; I took tons of picture of it. The next day I called in and quit. I said: I wont be working for you anymore and I just click on him. I ask for help at school to report what he done to me and gain information to report the issue and when I got the information; I call to report it but when I called in: a Chinese racism lady answer and I told her my story but she give me attitude and talk to me like I am telling her a lie. We keep talking, arguing and the phone die on us. She was really mean. I keep calling and calling as that lady ignore the call. I left tons tons of messages. I try to report to the police but they say; theres nothing they can do. So stupid though! I cannot believe that police cannot do nothing about it. Just got it reported. The next day, my manager came to ask my brother which worked at the Japan Osaka Booth [same area where all our booths are]and ask: why didnt your sister come to work anymore? [asking for me] My brother stand up for me and say; dont you ever touch my sister and etc. My manager said I didnt do anything and etc. [trying to act innocent] My brother warned him and he walked away. Ever since then, I was happy that I made the choice to quit. A couple months passes when I went back there to grab/finish some paper work; he saw me again; he couldnt look at me in the eye and etc. My manager that time; his name was Dan. But he has a real name too but I forgot his real name. Thats my story. I dont know if he still works there but If you are planning go work/apply to that place I use to work at. Please think first. Ill never forget that managers face and what he done. It will always be a story of my life that I will remember. Be careful who you work with. - J
