The High Cost Of Racism

(A customer is with my coworker, and seems to be acting rude. I come over to see what is happening.)

Coworker: “Your total is $48.76.”

Customer: “No, it’s not! This is supposed to be on sale!” *shows an old coupon for different store*

Coworker: “We cannot accept that.”

Customer: “No, no no! It’s on sale! You’re incompetent! I knew you wouldn’t’ be any help! You n***** shouldn’t be taking jobs from good, Christian, white people!”

(At this point, my coworker is on the verge of tears. The customer then grabs random kid, who appears to be 10 or 11.)

Kid: “Let go!”

Customer: *to kid* “Don’t you think this lady is mean for taking white peoples’ jobs?”

Kid: “No, but I do think that you are a idiotic, rude, racist that needs to let go of me right now!”

(The stunned customer runs out of the store. We track down the kid’s parent, who ended up getting a $10 gift card which she spent on a toy for the kid!)
