HILLANDALE, Md.,-- A Maryland woman said she was shocked when she saw her receipt from Radio Shack identified her as an "ugly itch" from "ghettohood, usa, tattoville, Maryland."
Shanae Lewis said she had a disagreement with a salesman at the Hillandale Radio Shack when she purchased a $20 cassette adapter and the salesman told her about Montgomery County's 5-cent bag tax, which she had never heard of because she is from Baltimore, WUSA-TV, Baltimore, reported Tuesday.
Lewis said she argued with the salesman for a few minutes before asking for a refund, which she received along with a receipt.
She said she was shocked to find the words "ugly itch, ghettohood, usa, tattoville, Maryland" typed at the bottom of the receipt.
Lewis said the salesman admitted to typing the words and said he was kidding, but she was not amused.
"I was shocked more so than anything, and then I became angry," Lewis said.
Lewis said she has contacted Radio Shack's corporate office and hopes to get the salesman fired.
Time to pull up a chair, pop some corn, and watch the show.
Heh.
Don’t anger your Machine overloards! They talk about you behind your back....Quick look the toaster is laughing at you.. LOL
Well, she IS an ugly one, and she looks to be from the ghetto.
All in all, he wasn’t misportraying her.
Finally those intrusive Radio Shack questions have a purpose.
All in fun, all in the hood! If this were a white guy Radio Shack would be filing chapter 11.
Lighten up...don’t act like a *itch, and maybe this wouldn’t happen. If that is a pic of the ‘offending’ clerk; this won’t go anywhere.
In Maryland, no outrage is too small.
looks like he was being straight up from here
Sign that guy up for the Bill Maher show.
she aint ugly until Laz says...
Huh? 5-cent bag tax?! Seriously?
Definately an insulting receipt, but I knew from reading the title who would have been insulted, based on media reporting patterns.
DC had one first, then of course, the good people of MoCo had to follow suit - wouldn’t want to be seen as harming the environment, don’t ya know.
Another moment of retail friction brought to us by pointless taxation.
How long will it be before we find out this receipt was photoshopped too?
I can’t believe the comments I’m reading on this thread. Are you people serious? Do you in any way at all think that this is appropriate customer service? If this clown worked for me he’d be fired immediately.
Really? That's a comment you want posted in a public place? How would you like it if a store clerk called your wife or your mother a bitch after ringing her up?
Well said. The clerk was way out of line.
