3. Former Walmart employee yet?

I’m pretty sure trying to peep at people trying on clothes is illegal even if her tirade isn’t. Shame on her.

12. Yuo, she's gone

"CAIR-MN says the employee is no longer working at the store."

4. I'm sick of these republican / Fox / Trump loving assholes. They think they own the world.

[Roland99]

5. Trying on clothes like a typical customer is "owning the world"??

Bet this employee’s tv is stuck on Faux News

6. Great that they taped it, BUT

...I seriously would have said something to that woman too. Her behavior in watching the woman so closely and continuing to rant...that deserves to be OPENLY challenged.

We have to stop letting these hateful people get away with behavior that we would punish our children for.

8. The bubble is making the bubbleheads bolder. They think everyone thinks like they do. n/t

[FirstLight]

9. ...All the more reason to call them out...

I'm done pretending to be "nice" or not getting involved in little daily issues because it isn't "decent" as my mother would say...

If you are a bigot, or attempt to shame people publicly for their race, gender, orientation, etc...I AM DONE playing nice. I will call that shit out and ask others to do the same...

I may be 5'1", but I'm feisty!

10. She needs to be fired from her job at Walmart

No one with that balatant of racism should work in retail. I bet she is an avid fox viewer.

[Xolodno]

11. And now she is fired...and the irony....

...is collecting unemployment insurance and no doubt denounced it previously.

18. You know how it is though...

According to them, and something I've invariably seen being said, THEY deserve their unemployment, welfare, food stamps, etc.

It's just the 'others'; minorities, immigrants, single mothers, etc., who are lazy and don't deserve it.

And then they vote for Republicans and when their welfare gets cut too, they say it MUST be because of all "those people" getting preferential treatment.

19. For Them, They ARE Entitlements

As in they believe they're entitled to them. Other people, not so much.

[Xolodno]

21. Yes. She does deserve it.

It's "Insurance", not a benefit. Hence, why its called on the deduction on their paycheck, Unemployment Insurance....and its pretty damn cheap.

But at the same time, these nutcases don't get it. The GOP wants to gut it, via slashing the premium, while slashing the benefit. It's like opting for house insurance that pays only 20% of the loss....as it is, Unemployment Insurance only covers 60% of the loss. It's why credit cards, loan companies, etc. offer their own "insurance".

But until it happens to them...they think everyone is just a "mooch".

[LuckyCharms]

13. She seems nice.

[Horse with no Name]

14. I totally agree! These people think they can do anything!

If Walmart wanted people to try on clothes, they would have dressing rooms!!!
The nerve!!!

16. Minnesota is full of racist pricks

A ton of them will tell you to your face that they're not racist, then in the next breath say something about how those fucking Somalis should go back to Africa.

MN has the largest Somali population in the US, btw. To make it worse for them, a lot end up working in meatpacking and/or factory work in small, rural (read 99.99% white) towns. Doesn't matter if those dinky towns were slowly dying before the influx of Somali and Hispanic immigrants; they'd rather see their homes become ghost towns than see dark skinned people on their streets.

20. Used to work at that store, actually

More than a decade ago, just so you know. Very diverse location, that old lady and her attitude would have been VERY out of place in it. Not sure why she wanted to work there.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. This happened three years ago.

The person who posted this video on Facebook -- Mika Ford -- didn’t respond to interview requests, but her post provided a little more information. It’s actually an old video, recorded back in 2015. Ford says the customer in the head scarf had been trying to use the changing room, and the Walmart employee didn’t want to let her, supposedly because she was worried the customer could hide merchandise under her robes. She’d had to stop filming because her young daughter started walking away.

So why wait until now to post a video of bad behavior from 2015? Ford explains she’d lost the phone she’d used to record, and only just restored the data, leaving the internet to dissect the incident three years after it happened. The day after it was posted, it had accrued 114,000 views and nearly 700 comments.

(snip)

All the video leaves viewers with is the knowledge that in 2015, this happened to a human being who wanted to try on some clothes in a Walmart. There is no indication whether justice was done, whether this has happened again since, whether anyone actually did intervene.

All we know is it happened. We weren’t there, but now we’ve all seen.
