Bullying at Woolworths Cafe at The Square at Farramere

I experience what I believe to be bullying at the Woolworths Cafe that is at The Square at Farrarmere. It's not the first time that I've experienced this, each time I go there I am received with negative energy from the ladies, especially the ones behind the counters who prepare food and drinks.

Today it felt worse because they started talking about me, I'm not sure whether they thought I couldn't hear them, saying that there's something off about my energy and other negative things. I decided to stop looking at the phone and started to look and focus on them. There was immediate silence. After my coffee what handed to me, soon after I walked out, they all started talking aloud to each other again. I immediately turned around, walked back inside the cafe and they immediately kept quiet, looking at each other, looking like they're nervous that they got caught gossiping.

I went to the male that had been serving me, and asked how much the scones are. He said that they don't have take-away containers for the scones, that they're only for sit-in customers. He apologised for that they couldn't sell me the scones as a take-away.

I hate to make this about race but I think the staff in that cafe, particularly the females, at the Woolworths in The Square at Farramere don't like serving black ladies. I always feel disdained when I am at that cafe. It's hurtful and upsetting.
