| New World Order Alert!!! New World Order Alert!!!
Man this sh*t really pissed me off yesterday that it put me in a bad mood the rest of the day.
I went to this cleaners around my neighborhood to have a couple of cloths done. It wasn't the first time I went there but I very seldom go since already having a washer and dryer. Anyway, the place is Asian owned but; as usual, they have Hispanics manning the counter and cash-register (that's a whole other topic that needs discussion in a later post/thread). Well, the girl looked my stuff over then asked me for my telephone number. I was taken back by that somewhat but I told her anyway. She then ran it in a computer and asked me my name. I told her. She said it doesn't match with what she's got. That wasn't a surprise to me, still; I told her that that's my name, to use the that and what is the cost and can I have my ticket. She replied that the name I gave her is not associated with the address of the phone-number I gave her. I said. "so what, that's my name and I'll give you an address you can put down, no problem", (my P.O. Box address that is), "but all you asked me for was a phone-number of which I don't understand why you're even asking that question anyway". This is based on the fact that in all previous times, since I was little; you go to the cleaners, you give them the cloths, your name and address, they give you a copy of the ticket and that's it. Well, me and this female was going back and forth about this a little while longer when this other Hispanic-female behind the counter that I've dealt with before walked up.
She told the other girl she'll handle it 'cause she knows I've been there before and she remembers me. Well, from that, I thought the stupidity was ended from there but I was wrong, it increased. She then looked at the computer and started running pretty-much the same thing the other girl ran. I then remarked, "that's my name, what, ya'll want my social-security number too?" I saw that that kind of embarrassed her and she replied, "no, no, I'm just asking because I see other names here". Then she asked me about one of the names and I told her that he's my uncle to which, in hindsight, I realize I should've told her anything. However, that wasn't good enough for her. She looked at the compter again then inquired about another name asking me who is [so and so]. At that point I was two seconds from going-off and cursing her ass out by saying something like, "WOE, HOLD UP B*TCH, WHERE THE F*** DO YOU GET OFF TRYIN' TO INTEROGATE ME BY ASKIN' QUESTIONS LIKE THAT . . . IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS WHO THAT IS", but I kept my cool and replied as calmly as I can, "look, this is starting to get really rediculous . . . I gave you my name and that's it, you just use whatever information I give you . . . I don't see why you're asking me all of this b***s*** and I'm really gettin' tired of it". She then proceeded to go through with the process while saying in a way of being suspecious in a weak attempt to try to save-face, "I know you've been in here before, I remember you", as if I'm trying to get away with something. No b*tch, you just don't need to be all up in my business like that.
I also know what was behind all that b***s*** they were on. Its one of the subtle techniques of deviously getting people to live under more and more BIG BROTHER SURVEILLANCE. But Im definitely not the one.
I went through a similar incident some time ago at HOME DEPOT. I went there to buy some stuff to do some work around the house. The girl at the counter, a young Sister, told me that Id have to show some ID to buy a utility-knife, one of the items I brought up. There was no way I was gonna show any ID for some sh*t like that. No argument though, I simply told her that thats alright; forget it, I dont want it. The thing is, from her reaction about asking me to do that and my reply, it seems she understood how f***ed-up that policy is and that she was somewhat in agreement with me even though she worked there and couldnt come right out and say so (a true Sister). A couple of days later I bought it at a local hardware store with no problem.
I went through the same thing when I tried to buy a can of spray-paint from HOME DEPOT a couple of days ago. My reaction was the same as before. However, the teller; who was White, was somewhat shocked.
People, dont comply with the b***s***. Take serious stands of resistance and pull peoples coat around you about it too.
