   I have never felt singled out or treated differently in New Zealand until I visited this store. I have been there before with my husband, who is Caucasian, and our son, and that experience was entirely positive. We purchased books, and the owners were friendly and helpful. However, during my most recent visit, I went in with my twin nieces to look for costumes for an upcoming event. While we were browsing, I noticed the owner closely following my nieces around the store and giving them unfriendly looks. My nieces are kind, respectful 13-year-old girls who were simply looking for face paint and costume items, quietly minding their own business. Although there were other customers in the shop, the owner’s attention remained fixed on them. The behaviour clearly suggested that they were being unfairly judged based on their appearance. The situation escalated when the owner’s wife forcefully kicked a shopping basket in front of them. Feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome, I told the girls we should leave. As we exited, she stood by the door and continued to glare at us. The entire encounter left us deeply unsettled and made it clear that my nieces were treated unfairly and with prejudice.
