I just returned from the Piggly Wiggly in Pooler, GA. It happened to be perfect timing as the early evening had started to creep up on the customers and many were in a hurry to get home and settle in. I have been here many times and so I was familiar with the store and made my way getting the few items I had set out to purchase. I put my groceries on the counter and the cashier proceeded to check me out. After she took my money, she turned her back (I was the only customer). I struggled to reach across the counter to put my heavy items into the bag, hoping that she would turn around and at least "push" the groceries closer to me. I struggled and reached and stretched and huffed and puffed until I got the last bag in my cart, for which she then turned and apologized for "NOT" helping me. Oh well, at least she said she didn't realize that I was stretching and reaching for my bags. Being African-American you can imagine the first thing I thought. They always say that African Americans always think that people are prejudice towards them. I guess you'd have to walk in our shoes to see why we always feel that way. I didn't want to leave on a positive note. I didn't want to think any thing......I just said to myself, "I wish I had of gone to Publix or Kroger where I could have heard someone say, do you need any help with your bags." Now please be reminded, the young lady turned to me with a big smile and a big apology.....I hate that this one thing would cause me to never return, but at this point, I won't go back to the Piggly Wiggly.
