I have lived close to Marks & Spencer Sevenoaks for over 1 year now and I am of an ethnic background. Sometimes, I pop in for a last-minute purchase before close of day and I found that they sometimes give out free flowers. Which is a nice touch.Several times I have gone in during these periods and usually when there is an older lady at the self-service tills, she tends to distribute these flowers to her preferred customers, who are usually white folk. Today, the same thing happened, this older lady had initially helped me at my till and when i was about to leave, she went off to speak to a colleague and returned just as i left. It felt intentional and hurtful, like she didn't want me to get free flowers! The person behind me, of Chinese descent, also wasn't offered flowers. As I said, this wasn't the first time it had happened! Based on this and previous observations, my conclusion was, it is the culture in this store. The younger staff seem nice and friendly. Just want to say to these ladies, treat people just like you would like to be treated! I decided to write about this publicly because I wouldn't want other people like me experiencing the same treatment and hope this culture will change! These ladies put shame to this store!
