The manager possessed a deep knowledge of his store’s inventory, which I found to be a valuable asset; however, I couldn't shake the feeling that he might hold racist views or be particularly inclined to dismissive behavior towards differing perspectives. Upon entering the store, I was hopeful for insightful recommendations in a niche genre I am passionate about: psychological horror. Initially, the manager did provide some solid recommendations, which were appreciated. However, as I continued browsing the shelves and perusing a few novels that caught my eye, I noticed an unsettling shift in the atmosphere. It was disconcerting to see him contact security without any apparent reason. While I cannot definitively prove his intentions, I could not help but notice that the security officer seemed to head straight towards me the moment I entered the store, bypassing the two other customers present. When I observed the security guard, he deliberately positioned himself in my line of sight not once, but twice, without even making his way through the entirety of the store. This made me question whether my taste in comics had somehow triggered a response in the manager, or if it was simply the fact that I am Black that caused him to react in such a manner. When I decided to purchase, I felt compelled to address the incident with the security officer. To my dismay, he immediately became defensive and revealed that he was indeed the person who had initiated the call for security. Additionally, I noted a stark transformation in the manager’s demeanor. The once warm and informative THEARON, who had eagerly shared suggestions, became increasingly dismissive as the transaction progressed. When I inquired about the renowned author Junji Ito—whose celebrated works include "Uzumaki" and "Hellstar Remina"—his response was curt and unhelpful, merely suggesting that I check out Barnes & Noble for more information. As for knowledge about other comic book stores, he seemed uninterested in engaging further, leaving me frustrated and disappointed in an experience that had begun with such promise.
