点评:I don't normally leave reviews but my experience today was despicable, disgusting and disappointing! Which has led me to post this. A very long bearded white gentleman (actually no i wouldn’t dishonour the many gentlemen that exist in St Andrews, he was just an old male) started to talk to another white younger male at the counter about how he is suspicious of people these days when these “types” come in and help themselves and there is such a problem in Edinburgh! By these types he meant us myself, my husband and my 2 children, we were actually very interested by the sunglasses and could have bought multiple pairs! The man continued his insinuations and the lady behind the counter, staff member presumably said nothing, not a word and not even how can I help, we left the store my 19 year old daughter in tears at hearing his disgraceful comments, I felt unsafe saying anything and just said thank you as we walked out the door and hopefully those men understood we understood everything they said about us! Never have we ever been so insulted just because we were not white and my daughter and I wore headscarves. I have been born and raised here as have my children and never experienced this racial abuse and embarrassment! To the owners have a think about the staff in your St Andrews store also take a look at your CCTV, it will show you evidence of a hate incident and the 3 persons by the counter who were complicit, this lets your brand down, what are you going to do about it? Considering your expansion in Dubai, I'm quite surprised at what your staff are complicit in!
翻译:我通常不留下评论,但今天的经历却令人不齿、恶心和失望!因此我发表了这篇文章。一位留着长胡子的白人绅士(其实我不想羞辱圣安德鲁斯的许多绅士,他只是一位老男人)开始和柜台的另一位年轻白人男子交谈,说他现在对人们很怀疑,因为这些“类型”的人进来自助,爱丁堡就有这样的问题!他说的这种人是指我们自己,我的丈夫和我的两个孩子,我们实际上对太阳镜很感兴趣,本来可以买多副!那人继续他的暗示,柜台后面的女士,工作人员大概什么也没说,一个字也没说,甚至没有问我能帮上什么忙,我们离开了商店,我 19 岁的女儿听到他无耻的言论后哭了起来,我觉得说任何话都不安全,只是在走出门时说了声谢谢,希望那些人明白我们听懂了他们说的关于我们的一切!我们从来没有因为不是白人,而且我和我的女儿戴头巾而遭受如此侮辱。我和我的孩子们都在这里出生长大,从未经历过这种种族歧视和羞辱!各位店主,想想你们圣安德鲁斯店的员工,也看看你们的闭路电视,里面有仇恨事件的证据,还有柜台旁边三个同谋的人,这让你们的品牌形象大打折扣,你们打算怎么办?考虑到你们在迪拜的扩张,我对你们员工的同谋行为感到非常惊讶!
