第一次來這裏因為遇到不平之事,想請教這壇子的各位朋友及專家。
星期五(情人節前一天)下午天氣陰沉,我去一個76號加油站加油,那兒很冷清。我進了店(店裏沒別人)交給一個中東人相貌的店員$30現金,說“$30,一號泵”,他收了錢卻沒吭聲,我轉身出去加油,一會兒,油泵停在$20上,我遂進店去問他,他矢口否認收了$30,說我隻給他$20,這兩張現鈔(一張20,一張10)是我剛從家裏特為加油拿出來,絕不會錯。看他瞪著眼說瞎話的神氣我很生氣便與他爭論,他凶神惡煞地要我出去,我說不,除非你還我$10。於是我們爆發大聲爭吵。他用惡毒語言開罵 "you are an Oriental faced Thief"。我更加氣憤回擊“你才是賊!”。這期間有客人進來他馬上閉嘴做無事狀,我十分佩服這人嘴臉居然變換這樣神速. 待客人出去又現出流氓嘴臉逼我出去, 不果,這時他看了一眼見窗外無人, 突然猛然發力迎麵在我脖子上推了一把並威脅我要叫警察。我說叫吧,仍然堅持不走。於是他打電話叫警察(跑到裏屋通話,不知道說了些什麽)請大家理解, 咱平時地確是省吃儉用但並非小肚雞腸,舍不得這區區$10,隻是被他的無恥激怒, 不想讓這種小人伎倆得逞,就沒把握住自己與人為善的處世哲學. 因為我看出他是欺負咱單獨一人又是英文不佳的亞洲弱女子。專找這等人下手。況且如果心裏沒鬼,為什麽在有人進來時變色龍似的無比文明禮貌而在人們走後立刻窮凶極惡呢?
過了幾分鍾三位警察到場,我仍然在氣頭上,大聲申述,那個中東人又變色龍似的縮在一旁做溫順乖巧狀,仿佛他是受害者 .警察沒聽我說完就說“我們已經知道了”並拿起一張店裏的卡片叫我去找這店的 manager去說,還給了我他們Headquarter的電話。然後, 我想因為有警察在場,在我的要求下這家夥倒是乖乖把名字寫在卡片上.
到家後我馬上寫了一個email給那店的 manager但至今沒有回音(這 manager 看名字也是中東人, 估計會袒護他的兄弟)。
我的問題是:這事是否應該繼續追究?我猜測他一次得手還會繼續作案,為害弱勢人群。
順便說一下,我近幾年曾經獨自開車走遍美國西部,中西部和南部各州,途經無數荒村野路, 偏僻小town, 全用的現金加油,從未遇過此等無賴, 卻在自家的城市遭此一小劫,好像在河溝翻船的意思,所以出離的憤怒,請各位朋友原諒咱小題大作。權當為各位同胞尤其是自行上路的女同胞引以為誡。
下麵是給那manager的 email:
My Utterly Disgusting Experience at Your Store Today
Hi, Mr. xxxxxxxx, today I went to your store to fill up on gas. I paid your employee, Mr. xxxxxx, $30 in cash for the gas. At the time of payment, there were only the 2 of us inside the store. However, my gas pump stopped at $20. When I went inside to question why it stopped at $20 instead of $30, Mr. xxxxxx refused to acknowledge that I paid $30, and only said I paid $20. Not only that, he called me "an Oriental faced Thief", quote unquote. I do not think this kind of discriminating and racist language is tolerated anywhere, including your store. There is simply no room for this kind of behavior. Futhermore, not only was I insulted, Mr. xxxxxxx also shoved me in the neck in an attempt to push me out of the store. I really don't care about the $10, I was more enraged at the comment lodged against me and my fellow race. I am writing this email to let you know what happened, bring to your attention your employee's fraudulent and atrocious behavior, and hope you take action in this regard. I'm sure you have video surveillance in your store, so please check that to see the prove. I will also be contacting the 76 headquarter if no satisfactory result emerges from this communication.
Sincerely,
xxxxx
此外還有一問:這Oriental faced Thief一說讓我心驚肉跳。難道咱亞裔有此做雞鳴狗盜之事的惡名? 我很在乎咱中國人的名聲。哪位朋友可以指點一二?
