I am an expat that living in muscat. Just want to share some story. It is always a usual things happening here. It is always my bad luck or maybe some of other people experience the same thing with me. Smell of discrimination is always happening here.
Today i just went out just want to have a look for a new phone. And unfortunately i choose to go to L*L* hypermarket and there is phone shop Z*hr* phone. I just ask the shop keeper few question while waiting patiently that he handling other customer also. Im asking about samsung s4 n note 3.. Then im thinking which one i should buy for valentine's gift for my wife. The shop keeper always replying very rude when im asking about the spec n the different between the two.
I just try to be cool and ignoring him and didnt ask him anymore question. N i start googling w my phone bcoz there is no use asking to the store keeper.
After all i decided to ask one more question about the price. Then i ask is there any discount because since i was there few customer buying phones n got 5-7 rial discount. Then he start to shout at me 'hello if u dont want to buy just go out from the store' then i reply him back ' i just ask u bcoz i saw u giving discount to ur indian customer n local customer also. If it just bcoz im not the same nationality w you and u treating me like this i will never come back to ur shop n dont worry i will leave from ur store right now' then i left him w very upset feeling.
So fellow expat maybe u can suggest me some shop in oman that will treat the customer the same even we are south east asian nationality and maybe i can suggest you not to go to z*hr* phone shop in L*l* hypermarket in wadi kabir
