Discrimination or not?
Coming from South Florida I have been used to finding cards for the Jewish Holidays everywhere, drug stores, supermarkets. This year Thanksgiving and Hanukkah fall on the same day. I had to pick up something at Walgreens so I went in search of Hanukkah cards. I found plenty of Christmas cards but no Hanukkah cards. When I asked the manager he told me that they had gotten an email that corporate would not be sending Hanukkah cards to "this store". Next I went into Publix, no Hanukkah cards but I was told that the Hallmark lady would be back on Tuesday. CVS- no Hanukkah cards, I did not bother to ask. I found a small selection at Hallmark in Sumter but no gift wrap. I find this very disturbing and, although it is not overt discrimination, I do feel that by omission it smacks of discrimination. Not good
