    Based on what right do they have to ask for your receipt?

    I got stopped leaving BJ’s warehouse by a black employee who questioned an item that was on my receipt under a different name.

    He made me feel like a criminal, but he was doing his job. He was wrong, but I understood why he made the mistake.

    I got no apology .

    I never called it a racist attack.

    3 billion a year in theft. Like I said I've had people ask to see mine it didn't bother me a single bit, took 3 seconds, nobody got butt hurt. I had no idea I had an early retirement right there in front of me. Dammit.

    Okay it's 1 a.m. I'm going to bed now.

    I made a post about Coco Gauff and you continuously called her a man.

    Stallworth told her that he had bought the ball and kept walking, but she followed him for several blocks, accusing him of stealing it. She summoned nearby Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) officers. The family began arguing with the officers and the manager because they felt they were being racially profiled.The

    This is typical leftwing stupidity fueled by Black Lives Matter insanity

    If a store manager askes a white person to show a receipt 999 times out of 1000 the white person will show the receipt and be on their way in 10 seconds

    What happens when white people are accused of stealing?

    Every time a black person is accused of stealing, it's labeled racism, so what about when it's white people?

    The racist card is so overplayed at this point, no on freakin' cares.

    I was once accused of stealing 5 dollars from the checkout at a supermarket. I made them balance the register and, to their surprise it balanced. They delivered to me a cake that said "we are sorry.". They were wrong. I am white and everybody moved on. Why is it automatically racist when something like this happens to a black person? One of these days someone will accuse me of racism for speaking to a black person.

    Which leaves the question why they don't they just show the receipt? It really does seem they want to change the rules based on race. The ONLY victim in all of this is the white manager who lost her damn job and nobody gives a ****. It is unbelievable to me that is considered newsworthy.

    Oh puuuuuuulease........where was her apology for the false accusation? What exactly made her think something was stolen? Why didn't the staff who waved bye to the family accuse them of anything?

    Why is Coco Gauff, a 15 year old girl, a man according to you? That's a positive post and look what you said about her.......

    Why is this news?

    Someone stole my cart at Kroger the other day. Probably because I'm Filipino.

    I suppose I should alert the news station.

    When deflection and avoidance are all you have then you have nothing. Stop trying to turn this around on me, back up your own claim of profiling and tell us what the profile for a black person is. You made this bed, now sleep in it.

    Uh huh, Mr. "Positive post about someone black".
    The profile of blacks is whatever you make it up to be. Sorry, still not feeding into your racist view of blacks. That's what you want, not gonna get it. Now why is a 15 year old girl a man according to you? Why would you attack a child like that?

    Nonsensical. Every time that I was asked for receipt when leaving a store I did not expect an apology when I produced it. Do you even shop brah? I find it impossible to believe that you haven't been asked for a receipt when leaving a store. If you would like, I could go out to Home Depot with a video camera TODAY and prove my point.

    Yea, at Wal-Mart, which is standard, but what this lady did was over the top. You're trying to justify what she did. She was wrong, so why didn't she apologize if it had nothing to do with race?

    Well see, my posts are racists according to him. Racist, by definition, is believing one race is superior to another. So according to him, I view blacks as both inferior and superior to other races. I know, it's hard to keep up with.

    There was not enough on the video to prove she never received an apology. Maybe she did....maybe she didn't. It could have been handled very easily by just producing a receipt when asked. On the video, she is heard saying "why do you need a receipt". It should have been very obvious as to why a receipt is needed. There is a reason a receipt is given when you purchase items. It is not so a person can get a refund later if they want to return an item. A receipt is to PROVE that a person purchased an item.

    It is very easy.

    Manager: "Do you have a receipt to show you paid for the basketball"?
    Lady: "Yes, here it is".
    Manager: "Thank You, have a nice day".

    Even billionaire Oprah has been profiled and you can cut your hair or dress differently.
