Sorry but i can't see your point... If they were there everyday doing this then it could be alittle more concerning even though it's not illegal..

i think you have just contradicted yourself. LOL!

but i do agree u need to hear both sides. thats y sharkegg/catfish/catfish1/etc... posted. but her story didnt quite have a leg to stand on. n with the overwhelming people here having nasty personal experiences with her, the evidence is just too much.
i guess besides hearsay(he said she said),the evidence is base on the characters of the parties.

Honestly, being on both the hobbyist and the business side of this....hobby, I can honestly say that I would embrace frag trading in front of the store or even in it if it meant the parties involved were going to come in and even just browse. Forget all the alleged racism and bad attitudes reported here, the horrendous business sense alone is offensive. I can't imagine the case (short of being attacked or robbed) that I would ever raise my voice to a customer. What goes around comes around and the world has a funny way of dealing with those undeserving of their position. I wouldn't waste much more thought on this.

I found this very funny. You are claiming that no one here heard her said racial slur, but you are claiming these two guys called her FAT? WTF? Were you there? Do you even know these two men?

And you said we can't make a judgement without knowing all the facts but you made a decision to stand on FT's side. Do you know the whole facts? Do you want to share with us? were you there? I read the whole thing and I made my decision. I will never go to that store again. Like I stated on other thread, I go to FT atleast once or twice a month and I spend atleast few hundreds in that store. I guess it's FT's lost.

If she think the asians are the problem in this country, atleast you'll see one less asian in her store. That will take care her problem.

uh in case you missed my post. i was not part of this, but i did witness it. i was stopped at the light in front of the library across the street waiting for the light to turn green. i had to close my window it was so bad. so i really do not understand what you are saying here if i did witness it.
just an FYI.
