So this morning I'm standing in line at the Dunkin' Donuts on 25th street in Bayonne, New Jersey. I see the cashier suppress a snarl as she berates a veiled employee for screwing up a customer's coffee order.

The veiled young woman is wearing a khimar, a head scarf, which covers her head, neck and ears but not her face (see photo right for an example of a khimar).

A minute later, my turn comes, I instruct the cashier what I want and she relays the order to the Muhajaba. A moment later my two coffees are delivered, but in the wrong size. The cashier merely shakes her head and says, "It's supposed to be two large decafs."

I say, "She'd probably hear better without the headscarf."

The cashier rolls her eyes and nods.

I get my large coffees, swipe my debit card, flip a coin into the tip jar, and leave.

When I get home I notice that the coffees are light with milk. I ordered light with cream.

I won't be going back there as long as the owner is stupid enough to hire Muslims.

To make sure the owner of the store is aware that there is a problem, I just sent him a letter informing him that the girl with the headscarf needs to have holes cut out of her scarf so she can hear better. I told him that I spend about a thousand dollars a year (actually I spend more) at his establishment and that if he wants my continued business to write back to me when the problem is fixed.
