Oh crap, not this sh** again.
Well, things are getting racial lately..... Asian, Native Americans....maybe later Eskimos too, so it's the Middle Eastern turn!
Post anything about Middle Easterns and dating, this means all of ... well, Middle East or Middle Easterners living in your areas.
Post pics, share stories, and give tips, but be ...be whatever you want.
Boo.. you're awesome man. This is something I'm having issues with now.
In my city there is this little corner shop that sells Arab foods. It is owned and operated by middle eastern Muslims. I've had classmates in college say the food was rather good so I went in there to try it.
The moment I step in I see the usual flatbread, hummus, baba ganoush, quibde and so... and I'm very familiar with these foods as my grandma's sister (grand-aunt) married a Lebanese man and my childhood was spent eating this wonderful food made by him once a month.
...the moment I stepped in I saw this gorgeous girl behind the counter. Amazing face, body and the most attractive eyes I've ever seen. (FYI yes she was wearing a hijab...as were the 2 other girls working there).
and there was also one man, obviously the manager, barking orders at the cashier girl. Very rudely too and I could see the girl stressed as heck trying to do things quickly.
Anyways... the beautiful girl was taking orders so I told her what I wanted to take home with me. Since the counter we were in was a bit far from the cash register area I tried to make some conversation by asking her about the food itself (I already knew but ya know.. just to talk). Thing is.. as she replied to me I could notice she was trying hard not to smile too much or show too much attention to me and she constantly snap-glanced at the manager as if checking if she was being watched. She did seem interested in talking to me since she asked me, almost mumbling/whispered about my accent.
That's when the manager walked over and I saw noticeably 'dry up' , stiffen up and pick up speed putting food into the Styrofoam carry out box.
and then.. oh man I'll never forget this... the manager's first words to me were 'Are you Jewish?'
O.o .. holy crap. I'm going to get stabbed or something.
I replied I wasn't and then he told me there's a guy at my university (this place is right next to the campus) that looks like me but is Jewish. I mean.. hell.. there's 10~ thousand students in that campus. Its like he keeps track or what?
He then mentioned something like 'Oh yeah, his beard is different and his eyes are blue (mine are brown) but you look like him..' and he said something in his language to the girl (who had SERIOUSLY stiffened up by then) and then returned to me saying ' you're ok, she will take your payment now' .
For the next 5 minutes I had to witness this jerk very rudely tell this girl in his language as she tried to work the register... she was so nervous she was obviously making mistakes and the guy would switch to english telling me how sorry he was 'this girl isnt smart enough to use a machine' and such ..
OMFG.
I could only try to distract HIM from bullying her by talking to him and tell him a story of how I screwed up a lot when I was learning to use a register when I worked at Best Buy and the girl (I think) felt a little better I guess knowing I was trying to get this SOB off her back for a bit.
Anyways.. thats the background story. I've tried to go back there to see if I can talk to her or get her number but she's always watched by that SOB .. I know they're not related or anything but its HARD to try and talk to her. Thing is I don't know if it would be the right thing to do now.. this girl is obviously scared witless of this guy ... I'd hate to get her into trouble or lose her job or much worse.
What say you Boo? Give me your wisdom
