Just decided this is the last time I am going to Thiara store on Nippising. The owner, who is at the counter, is such a grumpy rude woman. Someone should really teach her skills in salesmanship. Has anybody else had a bad experience with her?

Any suggestions around other store in town for south Asian spices and stuffs?

Good points. I generally do not shop at businesses owned by third world immigrants. They often don't like western values, or western people. Let their communities support their businesses and we support our own

Let's just end this patina of multiculturalism, and realize we Are individuals that just barely tolerate each other, and are most comfortable dealing with out own.

Not hate,

I am just am happy to oblige, when certain communities clearly want nothing to do with our culture and way of life here.

In my travels I find that a lot of the Cuban and Mexican stores stateside really try to make an effort to appeal and cater to all walks of life, up here not so much.

If you don't like her attitude and salesmanship why do you even shop there and give her your money?
If there are no other stores in Milton that carry South Asian spices, take a short trip to either Brampton or Mississauga where there are hundreds of such shops.

This is what happens when someone has a monopoly either on a commodity or a service. They think they can get away with whatever they dish out and people will still come back for more.

Next time, go in and say "Vaanakum" (a greeting in Tamil, since the name sounds Tamil), and see if she's friendlier or not. The owners have a cool-looking early 2000s Mercedes ML. If she's still rude, shop elsewhere.

Probably because latinos are "western people" too, same religion, similar language (spanish/portuguese origin), same culture/festivities (Christmas, new year, mother's day, ...) and they are a large community in the States so their influence is not limited to an isolated group and they make an effort to appeal to all. Up here some immigrants tends not to assimilate to Canadian life-style and values because they find themselves in their own small isolated community.

Wow there are some racist comments in here. I don't like Thiara because of the service, not because of their ethnic background. I'll find another Indian/ Pakistani shop somewhere.

Thank God most people consider acceptance as part of their Canadian values.

Exactly- being rude and not behaving well has nothing to do with ethnicity or that you are an immigrant from a third world country. Person of any color can be rude. The only point i was trying to make is that this particular woman does not know how to run a business and it seems like many other people have had a bad experience with her. I just hate the frown she has on her face and the comments she makes. never ever going back.
