I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the service I received at Bass Pro on 12/14/2024. My family and I had an appointment to take a photo with Santa Claus at 11:00 AM, but we were treated unfairly and discriminated against due to our Asian heritage.
Upon arrival early around 10:10AM, we found that there were already three families waiting in line ahead of us. However, when it was almost our turn, a staff member told us to come back at 11:00 AM, despite our scheduled appointment. Meanwhile, walk-in customers who without appointments were allowed to take photos before us. We felt disrespected and frustrated by this unfair treatment.
When we approached the staff member to complain, he became defensive and dismissive. His attitude was unprofessional and rude, which made us feel even more uncomfortable. It seemed that he was singling us out because of our Asian background, as the white families ahead of us did not experience any issues.
We follow the Rules stand there until 10:50AM, we eventually spoke to the manager, who apologized for the incident and offered us some gifts as compensation. However, the damage had already been done, and our experience was ruined. We left the store feeling disappointed, frustrated, and discriminated against.
As a customer, I expect to be treated fairly and respectfully, regardless of my ethnicity or background. I hope that Bass Pro will take steps to address these issues and ensure that all customers receive equal treatment. I would appreciate a response regarding the actions you will take to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Video Evidence: I have recorded video evidence of the incident, which I reserve the right to share publicly if necessary.
Date of experience: December 14, 2024
