"I recently visited Inn Deep over the weekend, hoping to have a pleasant evening with my friend. However, I encountered an incident that left me deeply disappointed and hurt. While standing at the bar, a member of the staff approached me and rudely informed me that I wasn 't allowed to stand there. I understand that there was a sign that said Dinnae stand here, using Scottish slang for don 't. However, the staff member made it clear that she believed I couldn 't understand it due to my ethnicity. Her passive-aggressive tone and insinuation were clear indicators of casual racism. I feel compelled to emphasise that I was born and raised in Scotland, and I consider myself Scottish. I was shocked by this incident, as it is unacceptable to make assumptions based on someone 's appearance or background. This kind of casual racism has no place in any establishment, and it should not be tolerated. Furthermore, what was even more disappointing was the staff member 's complete lack of acknowledgment or apology when I informed her that we were being served by her colleague. Her dismissive behaviour only added to the experience. As a customer, I believe it is crucial to raise awareness about incidents like these and promote a respectful and inclusive environment. I hope the management of Inn Deep takes this matter seriously and addresses it appropriately. I would like to reiterate that I have been a resident of Scotland my entire life, and it is my hope that no one else encounters such insensitive treatment at Inn Deep. Discrimination should not be tolerated in any form, and I sincerely hope that necessary actions are taken to rectify this situation."
