He’s making a big deal about what may not have been an intended slur, but he is completely correct. If whites are told they have to verbally walk on eggs around minorites, then minorities should have the same presumed responsibility.
At very least, the cashier was not communicating in a professional way. No one likes to be spoken of in 3rd Person, as though the speaker did not think he could hear what she was saying. Just basic workplace courtesy is needed, that’s all. If she had said. “This guy’s order is already filled.”,and turned her head to him, making eye contact while speaking, that would have been more polite.
Yeah I would have lost it but I have a terrible temper.
I probably would have said it’s better than being a @#$# @#$#$ing @#$#$#$ who @#$@#$s @#$@#$.
But that’s just me :)
Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot.
Picture a black man at a restaurant at a major airport being called “black boy.”
All hell would break loose. Al Sharpton would be marching with his megaphone. The Black-Lives-Matter nutjobs would be having rallies.
Geez, this is Popeyes, a fast-food joint. Professional? You're expecting a lot from "$15/hour" minimum wage entry level workers. When I go to a fast food place, I expect fast, not linen table clothes and fine silverware and a waiter with a folded linen napkin over his arm.
If you're expecting professionalism, you're looking in the wrong places.
