I was standing in line at the checkout counter, the cashier where I was standing at was talking to a cashier from the next counter, in German. I was full of smiles and was excitedly waiting in line to talk to her in German while she processes my items. (I missed my people, or so I thought).

When my turn arrived, before I even said “Hallo”, the woman (cashier) quickly looked at me and told her friend in German “ah look, this black monkey is buying a deo. I hate these people, specially the bitches. They should go back to their mother land”. I was in shock. By the time she and her friend finished insulting me and laughing at me, the cashier has already finished scanning my items.

I smiled and said: “Ich würde gerne mit Karte zahlen bitte!” (I would like to pay with card please!). Both of the women were in shock, complete silence. I then thanked the cashier and wished both of them a beautiful day ahead (in German). They didn’t reply or say anything. I was all smiles when I left the supermarket.
