Racial & Car Discrimination!
On Sunday at Mabe manager Becky Steadman was collecting the rents and asked one man with a large 4 x 4 car for the £7.00 rent and he demanded to know why ordinary cars were only £6.00 and his car was £1.00 more. Becky explained that his 4 x 4 was larger than other cars therefore he could get more selling stock into his car also that his car took up more space. He then flew into a tirade of abuse against Becky and our charging system accusing us of “car discrimination”! He was still in his childish mood when he was asked to do as all other vehicles do and that is to park side on refusing to do so and also using insulting language to me and my Lou and again to Becky! He then threatened to set his two large dogs crammed into the front passenger seat against me! This man earned the title ‘Dickhead of the day’ but he did leave early I assume to go home to change his ~ incontinence pad~ and I believe sober up?

NEWQUAY Circus Fields…….
As all our customers know we have quite an influx of Polish people who have moved here in Cornwall and settled down with their families obviously taking a toll on the housing stock but nevertheless they are Europeans and entitled to be here and I with all my teams treat them with respect as customers when they arrive at our boot sales. However there is always someone who stands head and shoulders above the rest this time it is 6 foot lady of about 40 years old (long died black hair) who parks up her car and walks to the front of the queues causing justified complaints from other customers. We have told her repeatedly not to jump the queue but her most annoying feature is that she has a most aggressive attitude to buying demanding ‘special discounts for me’ which has again been the source of complaints. Another tactic of this lady is to agree to buy from sellers take the items away with a promise she will get more money from her car and does not return to settle up her debt. All this is hearsay but she did exactly the same to my Lou one day and further she conned our Jackie into parting with goods she would settle up the next day! (You should never part with any items you are selling until they have been paid for)

During my absence last week at Newquay she upset an elderly lady seller by demanding to pay £3.00 for an item the lady had asked a fair price of £10.00 but Madam Polish still made her unfair demands. Matters reached a head when manager Becky received complaints about this woman’s tactics and after previous warnings Becky decided to BAR the lady.

However, Becky did not tell me she had BARRED the woman so I was surprised when I was confronted by this woman accompanied by an Englishman who wanted to see fair play as she complained about her treatment from Manager Becky further complaining that Becky had “RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED” against Madam Polish and that as I was a good man she was appealing for the ban to be overturned! She ranted on for a considerable time but I had chance to interrupt her flow of complaint to advise that I also had received complaints about her ‘pushing in and bullying tactics’ which was unacceptable behaviour. I also reminded her that I recently BARRED a lady School Teacher and her DHSS husband for the same type of bullying tactics and they were from Cornwall so we do not discriminate against the Polish or in fact any persons from anywhere in the world who visit our sales providing they accept the rules of ‘fair play’ at my Car Boot Sales.
The conversation was concluded that I would speak to Becky and get the full facts however I would allow Madam Polish to stay for the day and I would decide after speaking with all of our team of the day.
There was overwhelming evidence that this lady has caused offence to many of our customers with her aggressive and unfriendly behaviour towards our traditional and good willed Car Boot Sales and that I have no alternative than to support Becky’s original decision to BAR this lady with immediate effect!
I personally am grossly offended on behalf of my team that we should have been accused of ‘racial discrimination’ we are fair to all of our customers but if any customer wants to buck our system of FAIR PLAY to all of our customers, buyers or sellers alike then we will take the same attitude and actions to eliminate complaints from ‘you the genuine people’ who have built up a great reputation and a friendly atmosphere at all of our Car Boot Sales. Thank you my lovers!
