Though that is one of the more harsher things that was said to me but yea i do get attitude like that few times a week.
They also get mad when i speak english.....sooooo yea i often feel pretty stupid for things that are out of my control. But i get what you're feeling.

I'm pretty shocked that you work(ed) at Aberdeen and don't speak Cantonese. I know you said "retail" but do/did you actually work at Vera's Burgers in the food court?
