Not Always Right On So Many Levels
(A customer on crutches starts screaming racist epithets at her cashier.)
Disabled Customer: “You god-d*** n*****! You b****! How could you do that to me?! This is discrimination!”
Cashier: *totally shocked*
(I walk over right away. Keep in mind, I’m white.)
Me: “Ma’am, I’m sorry you’re upset, but could you please watch your language? There are children here. Now, I’d be ha–”
Disabled Customer: “Y’all hate people with disabilities! F*** the children! And f*** you, you n*****! I’m calling corporate!”
Me: “If that’s what you want to do, ma’am, I can’t stop you.”
Disabled Customer: “D*** right you can’t, you black b****!”
(She suddenly throws down her “crutches” and very easily walks out of the store.)
Another Customer: “Wait, did she just call you black?”
(She did end up calling the corporate office, but it was dismissed because she kept calling the operator a sand monkey and saying that she was going to burn in h*** for stealing white people’s jobs. To do this day, whenever we get bored we play with her crutches in the back stock room.)
