Everything was proceeding smoothly until my final day. Upon descending to the breakfast area, while I was reviewing the posted information, an employee approached me and stated in a raised voice, "Are you affiliated with this group, as breakfast is not complimentary, and I am aware you have not paid?"
I inquired, "How would you ascertain my non-inclusion on the list?" to which he replied, "I simply know," without consulting any records. It is important to note the demographic composition of the room at that moment: I was the sole individual of color present, while all others were not, which undeniably contributed to a perception of discourtesy.
