Robbed of £2.40

Roswell

I get stared at a lot for looking Jewish and Autistic, well today I went in a fish and chip shop, ordered the large chips for £2.40, and the woman who served me then gave me a frown and stared at me for a while, then three men also waiting for food started staring at me. I turned around to look out the window for a minute, at first the others were still talking to one another etc. then everyone went silent, after 10 seconds of the silence, I turned back around, everyone was staring at me, my panic attack had reached its peak, and I walked out.

  • Strange, there could be more to this that you haven't said or didn't realise.

    Did you jump the queue?

    or was it a local chippy where strangers are rare and unwelcome?

    How were you dressed?

    £2.40 is only £2.40,  although its the principal of the matter that matters.

    I have also had bad experiences at my local chippy, where I asked for scraps with my fish and chips, and the surely lady serving told me very aggressively to say Please.  I got my own back by leaving a bad/truthful review on trip advisor.

    I didn't jump the queue. I doubt it would be seen as a local chippy as my town is a reasonably popular seaside town and gets lots of traffic driving through so probably lots of strangers turn up to that one.

    I can live with having lost £2.40, of course if it was a serious sum of money I would have rather caused a scene and demand my money back than just walk out. I suppose I decided it wasn't worth the bother of doing that but that I also couldn't bear staying there any longer.

    Your experience sounds very unpleasant too. 

    I was dressed in a dark brown, somewhat smart coat, black trousers, white T-shirt and brown shoes.
