I was waiting at cashier to pay for a pair of upscale shoes. The cashier made an error and needed to redo the purchase. At this point the manager pushed my order aside in favor of a white customer behind me so that she would not have to wait. Apparently, it was okay for me to wait though I was first in line. When I complained to the owner, he was displeased that I thought I had been treated in a racist manner, though that was the only difference between me and the customer in line behind me. He firmly stated that he was sorry that I saw it that way, not that I had been treated that way!
