Had she said "blue men's shirts," would you have explained that she meant blue shirts and not shirts for Smurfs?

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

I went on line trying to find some cards around here for you. But this thread alone I seen it spelled Hanukkah, Chanukah, and Hanakuh. Jesus, how do you spell it? Why not just buy "Holiday Cards"?

Wow. "Shirts for white men" never occurred to me. To me it was "white shirts" for men. Color of the men never came to mind.

Courteous young men in "white shirts" on bicycles is what came to mind.

And I thought the "good illustration" was of the marketing to the particular demographics of likely shoppers in a given place.

Just wondering why people think discrimination instead of thinking that perhaps the stores carried the items in mention in the past and they did not sell well. Stores stock what sells and cannot stock everything everyone wants.

Right on! Believe me if there was a big market for Jewish cards they would carry them since sales are their business. S. Florida is a hugh Jewish market but I guess here in TV it is not as evidenced by the lack of Synagogues in this area.

You are right that TV has a low percent of Jewish residents compared to S. Florida -- but there IS a synagogue; it's on CR101 north of 466, with golf cart path access from Talley Ridge Circle.
