"Excuse me, do you work here??" UNappreciation

[Unknown Poster]

I used to get this when I lived in Pittsburgh and when I moved out I haven't got it at all. Haven't been approached with this mentality in 10 years. And I think it has a lot to do with the fact that outside of cooking and cleaning you won't be seeing black people doing too much in Pittsburgh when it comes to jobs.

White people have a very deep seated mentality that black people are inherently their servants and slaves. And somehow, we (as in Black folks, FBA/ADOS, Africans, West Indians, melinated peoples, etc) should be accustomed to drop what we're re doing and do their bidding no matter what. it's a very fukking crackerish mentality.

I would get this at places where obviously I wasn't working there and they could tell I wasn't working there but they felt I should take care of this stuff.

"Oh could you put this away for me?" *hands me an empty glass*

And before you even get a chance to even say anything...they'll say "thank you" and walk away.



You couldn't pay me to live there again...a truly deeply racist city.

Honestly I'm surprised I have not slapped the fire out of one of the CACs for this...but we all know this is a passive aggressive microaggression. And theyd call the cops in a heartbeat.

Take the hint and stop dressing like the help. Scrub.

I stay asking random black people for assistance. Or they stop me and ask, "What do you do?"

And I can't believe some of yall on the coli really holding this bytch ass nikka and a fukking c00n like he legend over here with posts like this.

If you live in south florida this gonna happen to you often



Happened more so in High School but it still happens sometimes now. There was a period where I swear, everytime I went to like Dadeland or Dolphin Mall I'd get some old couple stopping me and start firing off in spanish asking for help.

I haven't heard these words in almost 11 years.
Since I moved out of Pittsburgh! Thankful for that!

That's also where white people would just give random black people items to throw away and put on tables like they were the help.
excuse me, could you throw this away for me?
wha...
Thaaaaannnnkkkksss!

Yeah.. i just grab the water off the top shelf for her and keep it pushing. One time the ducks at Disneyland were following us so its like, well i get it. Lady thought i was training them incognito or something. Sometimes if I smile too much randomly as well. Its one of those things where its like, it is what it is.

A lady asked me where the bread was in a grocery store, I told her a few aisles over, then she started asking me more specific questions, which was weird. I told her she'd have to ask an employee, and she said, "oh I'm sorry, I thought you worked here."
I was carrying a shopping basket, wearing a baseball cap, hoody with the hood up, a Wu-Tang face mask, and basketball shorts.
I asked her what about my appearance indicated that I worked there, and she apologized so profusely she started crying. I'm still confused about it till this day

i ask random crehs in supermarkets randomly the same questions just to mess with them.

them: "do i look like i work in a supermarket?"

me: "ok. thanks." **walk away**

yeah it's a war of attrition but you get to call someone names without actually explicitly calling them a name in such a manner that they cannot do anything about it.

and when needed i can be extreeeeeeemly clumsy with a shopping trolley

I “played along” once and attempted to send the bytch to the far end of the store…she came to her senses very quickly after that lmaoooooo

I think it’d be funny af if one day someone ask that and I say “yes bytch but can’t you see I’m busy”…and it’s ALWAYS a white woman from my experience lmao
