Color supremacy

Pick n Pay Ferndale at Republic , Randburg 30 September 2020

Went to get groceries , got there after 7am . I noticed they were already open but I was told its only pensioners allowed before 8 am and the rest us would be allowed in after 8 , didn't have issue with that .. so I went to back to my come . at 07:50 I started making my way back to the store and I there was a white lady was standing by the store entrance .. another white lady came past and was let it in .. then the store manager came to the entrance to ask why the other still standing and the lady rep**** since she is 55 she was told she couldn't go it before 8am .. then the Manager Calvin/Kelvin said its fine she could in .. this is happening while the rest of us were standing there .

I went off at the poor guy sanitizing all customers because I didn't understand why she at 55 years was let in and the rest us majority black people were standing outside .

When I spoke to the Manager Calvin/Kelvin about this he had nothing excuses .. he didn't want to accept how his action was unfair and bias .

This to me felt like nothing but a race thing , she was 55 years and was let in what about me who was there just after 7am but waited for 8am ????

Such actions are a reason why certain things will never change in this country . Color supremacy is a huge problem in South Africa because of people like Calvin/Kelvin !!!
