Houston-area woman says cashier wouldn't check her out because of 'Police Lives Matter' shirt

A Houston-area woman says a grocery store cashier wouldn't check her out because of her shirt, which said "Police Lives Matter" and "All Lives Matter."

The woman, who gave her name only as Meredith, told KTRK-TV that she was shopping at a Kroger in Spring on Oct. 2 when the cashier, a teenage girl, stepped away from the checkout line and spoke to a co-worker.

"She was stating that the shirt I had on was basically a slap in the face to her and she was doing everything she could not to cry," Meredith said.

"She made me feel ashamed to have the shirt on, and I don't appreciate that," she said.

[font color=330099]1) The woman still was able to obtain her groceries with minimal delay so why is she complaining about the cashier other than to receive attention?

2) I wonder whether the woman supports people that have religious objections to refuse service to others in the public (e.g., refusing to sell a wedding cake to homosexuals, refusing to sell the morning after pill)?[/font]

If the story is true, fire the cashier. I don't see why this is a problem.
