Update On My Somewhat Creepy People Watching

As of right now my plan is the same as stated in my last post. I will still be using the method of natural observation by secretly watching how both employees and shoppers interact based on race. I will take notes on my phone, however I will now be bringing along a friend who will help me point out certain responses so I do not look like a creepy girl all by herself watching people. I realized that by being by myself I would look more out of place and I do not want to cause any attention to myself during the experiment. My friend will be the same age and the same race as me, so she will have little to no effect on the results of the experiment. I expect that employees will not treat customer's differently based on race, since their job is to be polite to everyone. However, this idea may just be me being optimistic. I hope that there will be no drastic change based on race to support the idea that racism towards Black-Americans is becoming less frequent.
