Do you support Muslim and/or Pakistani businesses?

i agree. i’ve noticed that most pakistani/muslim owned business are incapable of running their business, and the quality of their customer service is horrible.

my mom recently went to our local halal meat/desi store, and she happened to mention that the last time she got keema from them, it had a bad smell to it. the butcher says to her ‘well, no one else has complained to us..you can go to some other store if you want’ :eek: really? and then he goes on to tell her that she shouldn’t complain about it because the other customers will hear her, and won’t come back to their store again. idiots. :rolleyes:

another pet peeve of mine is when desi stores don’t take debit/credit when your purchase is less than a certain amount. because apparently it’ll cost them more to pay visa/mastercard, then to accept that form of payment from a customer and ensure that they return.

the only reason i go to desi stores is to buy halal meat. other than that, all the other desi items (rice, atta, spices, etc.) are all now widely available at your local grocery store.
