It does sound like staff in there are racist. If people are stealing from your shop, the normal solution is to implement anti-theft measures. Not blame their ethnicity and start discriminating against an entire ethnic group.

I agree requiring a refundable bond would be the way to go - and making them sign a basic hire contract.

For sure. Equipment loss has always been an issue and requiring a deposit has always been the default solution. Their argument, especially for a ski town like Davos, is very flimsy.

Yes it's quite weird. I'm glad they have been pinged out for it.
