A 16-year-old Jewish girl has allegedly been told by a shopkeeper in Stamford Hill in North East London to “be patient, Jews come last.”
Campaign Against Anti-Semitism reports the alleged incident took place on Wednesday evening at a shop which has a drop-off service for packages, acting as an agent for online stores.
The Jewish schoolgirl was dropping off items with the female shopkeeper, but in the middle of serving her the shopkeeper allegedly stopped and started serving another customer.
The Jewish schoolgirl asked politely if she could just have her receipt so that she could leave, to which the shopkeeper allegedly replied: “be patient, Jews come last.”
Stamford Hill Shomrim is assisting the young girl who was reportedly shocked and very hurt by the alleged antisemitic comment. Stamford Hill Shomrim has reported the incident to the police and referred the case to Campaign Against Antisemitism for assistance.

That shopkeeper should locked up for six months to send a message that such actions will not be tolerated!!!!
Why isn’t the name of the store published? They won’t care until it hurts their profits.
to Curiosity : Why isn’t the name of the store published? probably it was a Muslim owned store and it is not a secret how it goes in UK with PC as far as Muslims are concerned.
Locking him/her up or publishing the shop’s name (maybe) works in THIS world. We, however, are NOT of this world. Things don’t happen to us for the same reasons they happen to anyone else. The Medina didn’t get us accepted. And boycots and even law enforcement will not either. Ein segulah ka’Torah!!!
Living in London is not mentioned anywhere in Tanach as being a mitzvah. Make aliyah now!
Boycott the store and make it known to the owners.
But neither is living in Israel during golus
As long as its hearsay , nothing can be done about it
