At Holt Renfrew the salesperson ignored her at first so he could continue talking negatively about a homeless person. He seemed to be bothered to approach Melanie, and once she stated that she was was not ready to buy, he rolled his eyes and spoke rudely to her.
The Hostess at Cafe Nervosa looked Melanie up and down before declaring that there was not any room at the restaurant, and there was a lengthy waitlist. When Melanie inquired about the empty seats, or room at the bar the Hostess denied her again without further explanation.
The employees at the movie theatre had their backs to Melanie when she approached them, and she had to interrupt to get their attention.
