    Upon entering the establishment, I was met with an older women who seemingly guarded me from entering the store and asked for proof of insurance before I could even explain what I was looking for. I began explaining to her what I needed (lens replacement and updated eye-exam) and continued shaking her head at my request. As soon as I took out 1 of 2 insurance cards, she immediately shut me down and said "we do not take this" even though she had not even looked at the card. I told her to hold on and I showed her my second card, in which she kept repeating "Anthem - no we do not take that" even though I do not have any ***************** I explained to her I just needed the lenses replaced and if she could give me the out of pocket costs- to which she continued to say "No, no, we will not." I sensed she was trying to rush me out as she kept me close to the door. Her coworker stood in the back, who had not even looked at my insurance, and said across the room "We don't take that." I began to realize what the situation really was, and I politely asked "Why don't you want to help me? I have insurance and I can cover cost of lenses." And the woman looked sheepishly as me and did not respond. I asked, "Is it because I am not Asian?" and she quickly smiled and nodded. Let me preface by saying: there was no language barrier. She spoke to me in English and was well aware of what was being asked. I have never been faced with such blatant discrimination, especially in a neighborhood that has become increasingly diverse in recent years. What a shame that communities like this are simply turning others away when trying to support local businesses.
