    I’m an anti racist skinhead who’s also worked in retail. I’m not at the point that I accept that this wasn’t a tantrum, but I accept there might be discriminatory elements. I don’t really know how carding works in the UK, but in the US if someone asks you’re not getting service if all you’ve got on you is your cell phone.
