Business ProfileforStaples, Inc.

I went to Staples to pick up a printing job that had been completed by two very helpful and knowledgeable young ladies. My order was perfect. Then I needed to grab a couple more things. When I arrived at the cash register there wasnt anyone else in line. Three employees: **** -older white man, ****** -middle aged white man, and an older white lady who had her gray hair covering her name tag. The three of them stood there by the gift cards talking for literally 5 minutes before either of them would bother to check me out. They each looked at me several times but didnt move. I didnt say a word to them, as I was trying to keep my composure and remain calm. So, I picked up my phone and dialed the staples customer service line and it was really loud on the phone. I guess they heard the call and **** decided to walk over to check me out. At this time, the older lady and ****** also went behind the counter to help a white man that had just walked up. As a black woman, I have been treated this way before. But I am tired of it and will now call it out each and every time.Listen, I literally grew up in *************, this is my home. There is no place for prejudice here. If Staples as a company hires and allows these types of people to be the face of their company then something is wrong and needs to change. Every customer has the same color money: green. The color of my skin should not determine how I as a customer will be treated. And its too bad because I had such a wonderful experience with the ladies at the copy center. And to end the visit with those three at the front register is just disheartening. Do better.
