This was back in 2007, getting married and moving to a hick town, went to do groceries one day by myself wearing a shalwar/kameez

When I went to pay for the items, handed her a $100 bill, the cashier looked at me up and down with disgust and said ‘Weeeee dooooon’t taaaaaake aaaaaa hundreddddd dolllllaaaarr billlll’. Dooooo

youuuuuu understaaaannnnd meeeee?

I flinged my sunglasses off and told her I understood just fine and now she can keep the darn groceries, and left the store. Came home and called the store to talk to the manager and told him what

happened, threatened to report this incident to the head office, he begged me not to and told me come back to start shopping at the store. I said ‘No’ and never returned. I did report it to the head office

of the grocery chain

I don’t see the reason why you reported that salesperson. This hardly was a case of discrimination. It was you who was wearing a totally foreign dress there. So he assumed you did not know proper English. Just a simple sentence in English with proper accent and a smile would probably have erased his doubts.
