It appeared that the usher is picking only women with color. The lady who approached was an immigrant like me. We asked for the manager that night, she came but didn’t do anything at all. She did not call her out, along with another white couple who were standing near the wall ( 3rd picture attached) who were drinking and took off their masks. I am so proud of her for standing and defending us. My niece is white and she defended both myself and the other lady who had the same experience I just had. She did not even bother to call out my niece sitting beside me literally drinking and doing the same thing I did, pulling her mask down to drink. While we were talking another lady approached me and said she was also told to do the same. I was horrified as she literally insisted I do that. I said I am pro mask, and this is the first time hearing her instructions in how to drink without taking off my mask for a second. I said how? “ she demonstrated with her mask on to stretch the lower section of the mask near my neck and insert the drink inside my mask. She said “ Yes I know, but you can still drink with your mask on”. I informed her I just drank ( literally 2seconds) and she was right on my face, I am aware that I have to pull back my mask after, but Suddenly I was approached by the elderly lady asking me to put my mask back up. My niece and I sat in one of the chairs with both our drinks in our hand. No action from her at all.įirst, I am a pro mask person and always follow the rules in wearing them all the time. The show was amazing, but I’m going to give this rate 3 stars due to a racial discrimination experience I felt with one of the ushers, ( attached picture 1 & 2 of a white haired elderly lady standing at the foot of the stairs ) and how the manager just listened and walk away after we told her the whole situation. 8 months ago I had a great time watching Pretty Woman.
