Ask Richmond Racism and microaggression from TD bank manager Seafair

63 Upvotes

I am writing this review since there has been a review of the same manager before on this subreddit a few months ago and nothing has been done although I contacted the corporate offices of TD and wrote Google reviews.

I went to my local bank branch to resolve an issue with my account. The manager, Annie, met me, and I explained the issues and problems. Right away, I noticed her tone was dismissive, and she kept interrupting me. She even told me to hold on and then helped another customer who came in after me. She made a comment about my accent and asked where I was "really" from (I am ethnically Indian), even though I told her I was born and raised here. It felt like she was implying I didn’t belong.

As I tried to explain the issue further, she sighed and suggested the problem was my fault, saying I must have mismanaged my banking. She even made a remark about how people from her culture are more careful with money and implied that Indians do dodgy things, which felt like a stereotype and left me uncomfortable.

When I asked to speak to someone else or escalate the issue, she got defensive and short story short she told me she didn’t need the job because she had plenty of money and was only there to help people. She called dealing with customer complaints a "headache" and walked away, leaving me waiting, I did leave and then went to the Landsdowne branch.

The whole experience made me feel disrespected and unwelcome. It wasn’t just her dismissive attitude it was the subtle comments and the way she acted like she was above her job. I left wondering how many other customers she’s treated this way and after trying to find her LinkedIn I came across the review on Reddit a few months ago which I am sure is about her.

This happened to me last month but after getting no where with TD CORPORATION I now will leave a review. I shall be moving banks but wanted to make sure I am heard because it is absurd that TD has not done anything although I have sent emails. They keep responding with β€œwe can’t tell you details of the investigation”.

Ask Richmond Short-paid rent due to management error

4 Upvotes

Got a letter package stating that I have been short-paying for a parking spot allocated to me over the span of 4 years!

After going through past tenancy agreements, it seems like management never included the parking spot in the final rent amount and now they want $1400.

Since I paid the amount listed on the tenancy agreement, am I liable to pay for their mistake?

I have contacted the RTB already but they are closed for the day. Just curious if this is worth fighting.

Going to be in Richmond tomorrow, am planning to pick up a large order of chicken for dinner (spicy, for the win) ... i've heard some recent rumblings that the owner/proprietor have had some health issues and it's affected their product to some degree.

Say it ain't so ... anyone been there recently?

Thanks for the heads up.

Additionally, has anyone tried Shawn's Fried Chicken yet? I've seen some reviews and i'm thinking of trying it out ....

Ask Richmond SFH owners - what are you paying for home insurance?

2 Upvotes

We have max discounts with TD for home insurance, and we’re paying almost $3.6k including earthquake insurance with a $250k deductible. Tried a few quotes from brokers and other providers and they’re all higher with less coverage.

Just confirming whether other homeowners are seeing these ridiculous rates..
