No problem at all, just an honest observation. One that I find surprising in this area, in this mall....and I still find it surprising.

  
I actually spent time assisting in the hiring of people for the store in question. We had all white candidates applying for the positon less one man that was so incompetant he couldn’t string a sentence together.

Everybody that was picked for the store was selected based upon their qualifications. I’m happy with the team I helped assemble -- even if they are all the same color.

My comment wasn’t intended to be taken personally by anyone, it was just a very surprising observation. I will say that I did speak with 3 or 4 of the employees and they were very helpful, accomodating, outgoing and nice. Many approached us to speak with us and ask us questions. Judging from what I saw, I think a good, professional team was put together as well.
