Racism at Fishtown, NY

[thirty5]

Wow, this is unbelievable. Being Korean American and my mom still lives about 5 blocks away from FT, I visit that store maybe once a month. But I will never go back there again until the new ownership. I am just glad I read this thread.

You said new ownership? Do you know something?

I am so sad to read this thread. I empathize with those who were treated wrongly.

I don't know anything but eventually if the business goes bad, they have to something about it soon or later. Either new management or sell it to someone else. I was hoping new ownership.

i think thats exactly what she wants. she does not seem like a person that likes the hobby, just the $. the father wants gives the business to her thinking she will do good. she's only in it for the $. her plan is to:
take over business ownership n sell business n take the $. but be4 she can do that she has to drive up revenue anyway she can(like selling anything like tiger sharks).
the reason she dont care about offending MR members is because she knows MR members r not her ideal customers. but if the public, especially around that neighborhood knew about her ways, it would be different.

I am sorry this happen to you. It should not happen to anyone. I will join the club and boycott FT.

Wow....Mat was telling me he passed Fishtown on Sat. and there was an argument in front of the store...sorry you guys had to deal with that....

I say we pick one day and we all call, one by one and ask for the mananger and complain...and if kathy is the one answering the phone we give her a word or two.

Also i know a couple of guys that worked there and left recently and they said how Kathy called them and cursed them out as well....

 

[Awibrandy]

The manager was her boyfriend at one time.lol That would be George.LOL

edit

I just edited my post so that the incredible store in CT will not be associated in any way with fishtown and this thread.

 

[crox99]

[inkblue]

Hmmmm... aRent some of the FishiEs they get come fRom Asia

yeaH, tHose dammm aSians

 

[cali_reef]

She is an idiot!! I would have called her some not so nice names if I was there, then tell her father about this. I would estimate 50% of their sales are from ASIANS.

 

[nycmat]

LMFAO!! i was telling people about it. i passed there with no intentions of stopping and there was noah stopping someone from going in there. i said thats strange. then i saw kathy and there was a exchange going on and quite a few "f" bombs to boot. didnt know it was members. so because of my son i just closed the window and laughed and said how long until she leaves this place. i mean i have been told by former employees that she is the reason they left and that she is calling up them and threating them on the phone. i have been told many things about them. real sad situation going on there. so for the few people i told on saturday about it. i guess i have back up in regards LOL. sorry for you guys experience BTW

 

[bueller]

I went there once about a a year & 1/2 ago and never went BACK! I called her a FUC*IN Scammer to her face, she tried to get over on me for an extra $50.00. Before I left the store after I caught them I told them They can All Kiss my FUC*IN A$$ and left. EVERYONE should go somewhere else.

Oh man! Willie SORRY to hear what happened!! I can't believe that in a city as diverse as this people still feel this way.I have had the honor of meeting and exchanging frags with Willie and let me tell you He is a very nice person.I'm 5sure Alex is as well.
Awilda is also a very nice person!
If the ownwer is Greek like she says I'm embarrased of my own kind. Greeks are usually very friendly and hospitable.
All I can say I'll never shop there but will exchange or buy frags in front of her stupid store just to piss her off.I'll even drop the F Bomb "Greek Style" if she confronts me.We should all boycott her sorry a#@ store.From now on all exchanges must be in front of FT.Can we have a frag swap in front as well?Patronize MR vendors and keep fragging people!!!

Now with all that said and done all I have to say is :
""WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG????""

Harry, you are one of many Greeks I have had the pleasure to deal with. I have dined with, partied with, and just hang with Greek people, and never had any racial or otherwise bad dealings with. My mention of what is her ancestry was NOT intended to mean that Greeks are like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was answering NYreefNoob's question.
With my Greek friends I have always been treated like family, nothing can be better then that. Plus the food is absolutely out of this worlddddddddddddd!
Harry, if I offended you, or yours in any way PLEASEEEEEEEEEE accept my sincere heart felt apology!!!!!
By the way, her dad (Mike) has always been cool with me. I know he comes across as an oger, but to me he is just a bear - Teddy Bear that is.
Will you teach me the "F Bomb in Greek", my other friends refuse to teach bad words.LOL


Yes, we should just stick to our vendors. And of course, fragging is best as we get to meet some really nice people.

 

[Tito]

Isn't Fishtown, USA a franchise store? I thought I saw this name somewhere else like in PA. IF it is a franchise then a quick call to head quarters would be great.

 

[grknyer]

I know Awilda.Thanks.No hard feelings.If you are ever in the neighborhood stop by for a nice cold Frappe(ice coffee).I'll sent you a pm on how to drop the Fbomb in Greek.Lol

[Mr.First]

No it is not a franchise. Off the subject but kinda funny. One day I was in there and the dad was showing off this big grouper to some teenagers. He was feeding it by hand. all of a sudden water and light fixture went flying. The fish bit him. His hand was all bloody. Anyway, we all now know about F/S . Most of thier fish in my experience do not live very long...

 

[inkblue]

wanna geT back at them? go thEre reCord that woman'S rant on a videoPhone and poSt it on YouTube :lol2: we'LL see if they'LL be in buSiness a weeK later...
