Melissa Wathan’s experience with fellow staff members in The Hub Coffee Roasters was filled with racism and bullying.
She only started her new job as a coffee barista just last October in 2020. However, things haven’t been going smoothly for Melissa. The ex-barista had to halt her current job as it became way too much for her to handle.
Nicholas also stated that he shoved away all his work and responsibility in order to understand more about this incident. He finally realised that some things have to be dealt with, such as Joey’s rude and discriminatory behaviour. Nicholas then fired Joey and hoped that she also changes her attitude. The fired barista mentioned that she will try to change her ways as well.
Nicholas begged for Melissa’s forgiveness and to give them another chance. They want to prove to her that they can change. He ensures that this apology is truthful and sincere. For now, Nicholas hopes he can meet up with her to talk about this and make amends with Melissa.
Malaysians need to stop looking down on people or judging them based on their skin colour and background. I hope this whole incident is a lesson for people to be more respectful towards those who are different from them. Please say no to racism and bullying!
