For Jeff Liu, the thick Plexiglas window that separates him from patrons at his Germantown beer deli, Kenny’s Seafood & Steak, is a matter of safety.
For City Councilwoman Cindy Bass, the barrier window is an insult.
The Plexiglas partition serves to protect workers from crime, but it also cuts them off from customers — a literal and metaphorical divider between their worlds. Several years ago, after Liu argued with a man selling drugs in the Wayne Avenue deli’s lobby, the man returned with a rifle and shot Liu’s car, shattering its windows, Liu said.
However, Philadelphia Councilwoman Cindy Bass says the windows only foster a sense that the establishment – more specifically, its clientele – is dangerous. And that too many of those stores masquerade as eateries when their biggest sales draw is alcohol, feeding vices in the city’s struggling neighborhoods. “It’s an indignity” to buy a meal through such a window, she said.

How much you want to bet this idiot lives in a gated or otherwise protected neighborhood and home keeping her apart from the scum she would turn loose on everybody, but in particular Asian small business owners? Does she or anybody in her household or employ have a gun? Does she and her fellow council people have protections from the people why they hold official sessions?
Check your own privelege jackass before daring to insult others!!!
