So there I was in c4 with my 10 month old baby in one hand and the trolly in another. I was looking at what spices I needed when a woman was beside me with her children a boy and a girl and her maid. The girl was throwing a fit and the mother was just ignoring which I totally understand. But what really bothered me and annoyed me was the fact that she grabbed the maid and just pushed her real hard to go and get her girl chips. The poor maid just lowered her gaze and went running. It really broke my heart and I could see the pain and humiliation in her eyes. The woman just continued what she was doing like nothing happened. I was so sad and I just wish I said something. I mean why do people treat them like that. Then you wonder why that specific maid ended up on the news.

Some of these "madams" treat their homehelps like that because they can get away with it. In any other situation, you'd be charged with assault for laying a hand on another person in that way. You can bet your boots they wouldn't dare try it on someone from their own nationality. Sadly, some seem to regard their maids and gardeners etc as inferior beings.
