WWCD, part II

So the results are in from the very first Ask Me Later poll. If you'll recall (and if you don't, just check out the original post), I wondered if I should have identified someone by the color of their skin, and the overwhelming response was that I should have.

Yeah...I know. 25 responses isn't necessarily "overwhelming," but you know what I mean.

One interesting thing I noted in the comments was that one person (Elliot of From Where I Sit) said:

Hell, I would have said "the black one" in a heartbeat.

The only thing is that I never identified which cashier I was talking about. Although, I can guess that by indicating my discomfort in revealing the cashier's skin color readers would most likely assume it was the black one I was talking about.

But that's just an observation.

And now for the rest of the story...

The incident I had related to my co-worker was one not entirely flattering to the cashier. Already running late for a meeting, the cashier spent over five minutes trying to figure out how to ring up my purchase. She hit every button on the register until she found a price that seemed right for a box of Tic-Tacs. While it was by no means the worst incident of customer service I've ever experienced, it was a bit frustrating.

Now, considering that the story I told my co-worker was less than complimentary and the color of the cashier's skin was really the only way I could identify her, I'll ask you all again:

Should Casper have just resorted to identifying the color of the cashier's skin?

Yes No </td>
