My Friend and Me

My Friend and Me

I worked last night for a twelve and a quarter hours shift. During the course of this shift, we are entitled for a break from work. My African colleague and friend and I were discussing some of our experiences as migrant workers. My friend narrated an incident happened when he and his friend went out for a nightout with his family and friends. When they entered the pub, my friend paid for their entrance fees and then proceeded to find a vacant table and chairs to occupy. After some time, my friend noticed that they were not being served and so he went to inquire in the bar then ordered and paid what he ordered. After some time, their orders were not served and then they were asked to leave the place immediately.

My friend said he paid everything which cost him about £30 altogether and nothing was returned to him when they left the place. It is sad to note that this incident is still happening in the twenty first century.

I am just hoping that this is just an isolated case and that it is not happening in other places.
