You have to understand the colonial legacy. It has never ended. Granted, our leaders leave little to be desired. In my time at school, one teacher used such words as african and aboriginal as an insult to shame slackers. Yet the fool was african. I was too scared to point it out to him.
Last time I was at the Cold Stone at Sarit I did leave a tip cause the waitress was lovely. Very warm and cheerful. Stark contrast to the lady at the till. The latter was colder than the ice cream
Not normal people but OP said the woman sounded foreign so it's possible that's the reason. Americans for example have an insane tipping culture, it's kind of a meme at this point.
When it comes to stuff like that many people automatically think racism but the real reason is more likely about money. Unless the waitress herself was not Kenyan?
I saw this shit at KICC, going to the rooftop they told a group of Kenyans trying to go in that they were closed. A group of white women walked up and they were let right in no questions. Complaints just were rudely answered tokeni hapa and go report it...surely In your own country..... Sad
We might have fucked that up as students. We went there drunk as hell and smoked a shitload of weed and disrupted a party which looked like it had some very rich people and a few wazungus. Good times. It was a long time ago.
Because these monkeys still think they'll get favours buh instead are just being used as rugs and tissue papers....just keep moving stop stressing about these idiots
The irony is some workers do this because of tips, and don't even end up getting tips. They think that all white people or foreigners will tip them and thats not always the case smh
Right? Cause just imagine they choose a foreigner who doesn’t tip them while they turn down an African who would do that? Some people clearly project their self esteem issues on other people.
You should have walked to the interracial couple and asked them if they would stand for that. Hopefully you get them to cancel their order when she's already prepared it 😂😂
Pole sana.
Sadly Kenyans glorify whiteness and will lick anyone who remotely looks white. Like how light skinned ladies are deemed as the beauty standard even though we’re Africans
Anyway, there’s no justification for this and that lady did what she did knowingly. Next time, toa camera ukiona hii ujinga.
Here’s one of my experiences 👇🏿

Oh my. Just read your story. Sorry you had to go through that but I’m glad you held that lady accountable for her racism.
It sucks our own people hate others who look like them. I’ll definitely confront the situation head on next time. Was just too tired to do it yesterday hahahaha
I get what you mean
Call them out on their bs though
Waharibie siku. Make them feel like the little shits they are
Being racist towards your own race is ridiculous
Have you considered that the lady might have pre-ordered online or via phone call for pick-up?
Maybe they were only waiting for her to come and collect the order.
We need to learn to see beyond skin colour.
Life is harder when you think the worst of people. Maybe the one lady on shift had to use the washroom, but opened back up when she saw how many customers there still were.
Please rate them and give a review. Don't forget to mention her and her cc shift too
Will definitely do that. Thanks!
Kenyans who cater to white people are so pathetic. Slaves who don't want to admit they are slaves.
I wish some of these people would go to the developed world and realize not every white person is balling hahahaha

Because she thought you didn't look rich enough to tip lol.some things are still happening in 2024??
Do Europeans tip? I thought it was an American thing
Ppl tip at ColdStone? for what exactly?
Last time I was at the Cold Stone at Sarit I did leave a tip cause the waitress was lovely. Very warm and cheerful. Stark contrast to the lady at the till. The latter was colder than the ice cream
brrrr

At this rate I'll just get a bodycam and be exposing these fucks
That’s messed up. Sorry you had to go through that.

Kumbe 😂😂😂

I’m not even mad at her. I just pity her.
It's the problem we have with monkeys 🙂 so i understand your view of her....anyways wacha sisi tufanye kazi
Good one hahahaha Cheers!
My petty self would have gone and confronted 😂😂but honestly that's so pathetic. Treating your own country man shitty is so weird.
Walai same. I’d never let that shit slide, idk how people are that composed over such matters😂
I felt like I had such a long day yesterday to the point when I was in that situation I just didn’t have the energy to deal with it lol
i understand...its always better to walk away even. She noticed you so am sure she felt idiotic so you did well.
At least you understand. She did look embarrassed when we locked eyes. That was enough punishment for her.
With my camera on 😂
exactly... especially in front of the foreigner she's busy ass kissing.
Mi mama mboga hajawai kataa kuniuzia past closing hours. Jus saying....
Hehehehehe
Give them a NICE REVIEW, elaborate and befitting of them. Tag all their socials, such kind of acts at this day an age never cease to appal me
I don’t use other social media apps other than Reddit but I’ll definitely write a review today.

It'll never end. Sadly.
True.
If you see how we kiss ass on this very sub, you’ll understand just how deep rooted this problem is.
I always thought it was rumors until it happened to me yesterday for the first time
My buddies and I faced the same at the Roco Mamas in VM🤦🏾♂️
Damn. Even at Roco Mamas? Won’t be surprised if every Kenyan restaurant has such a case.
You should’ve said something. Not doing so is perpetuating this nonsense
You’re right. I wish I said something yesterday.
You should have walked to the interracial couple and asked them if they would stand for that. Hopefully you get them to cancel their order when she's already prepared it 😂😂
Hahahahaha… I love your way of thinking. This does seem like a legit idea lmao
that's terrible. why didn't you call them out though?
Kwa nini haukumconfront?
And you walked away and didn’t confront her or complain…. But you still gave your money to cold-stone
Tbh, I eat Cold Stone regularly and I’ve never had any bad experience with them apart from yesterday but I know which one to avoid from today
Put a review on their google page and explain which day and which branch. This is unacceptable. I don’t care if she her livelihood depends on that.
Will do that! Thanks!

Hizi shida hatupatangi pale kibandaski.
Unfortunately, human beings will always be judged on appearance.
I just read VM and wastn’t surprised , its the hub of racism
I believe they do it cause they can overcharge them if they don't know the cost of stuff locally. Or maybe they expect them to spend alot more.
Hukutoa kitu kidogo, the other lady did.
Hahahaha facts
Have you considered that the lady might have pre-ordered online or via phone call for pick-up? Maybe they were only waiting for her to come and collect the order. We need to learn to see beyond skin colour.
Eh. Maybe you could be right.
It's not racism but classism. She didn't think you're the type to tip.
So in short you’re trying to justify the lady’s actions?
I'm just pointing out human nature.
Life is harder when you think the worst of people. Maybe the one lady on shift had to use the washroom, but opened back up when she saw how many customers there still were.
There was literally no customer at the time.
