An Old Navy employee was fired from a Toronto-area store after an aggressive racial profiling incident was filmed and shared on social media.
Lisa Calderon uploaded three videos to her Facebook and Instagram accounts on June 10, which shows a retail employee named “Stephanie” follow Calderon around the mall, and grab her arm.
Calderon’s ordeal began when she visited an Old Navy location at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ont.
"I was racially profiled in Old Navy at Square One Shopping Centre today," she wrote on Facebook.
"I felt uncomfortable so instead of exchanging my merchandise there or buying the white dress I tried on, I decided to go somewhere else, I even went as far as to voice my concern to staff before leaving the store."

““Guys I cried cause I never thought in a million years this would happen to me,” she wrote on social media.”
ROFL would you like drama music in the background added?
It’s oddly entertaining watching large companies kowtow to this sort of stuff. Sure, I’d fire the employee for the way she handled it, thank people for the suggestions, and then forget about it. If people keep bringing it up, tell them that proof that our stores were “racially sensitive” is in how rarely such a thing happens.
And when people argue that once is too much, that’s when you say you agree, but that perfection is the enemy of excellence.
You will be pilloried for your common sense and lack of racial kowtowing!
One good thing about Raptors winning is tgey won’t be invited to The White House being they are in Canada though every player is American. They can Fart off with Justin Treaudu who is non of the players leader.

I go to Old Navy maybe once every 5 years. I happened to go last week (relative requested Old Navy stuff for birthday). It wasn’t too busy on a weekday lunchtime, and I had a few minutes to look around. I was even tempted to look at some of the sale short sleeve shirts for myself. I hate the LOUD music in Old Navy, but seemed to be tolerating it that day.
Then noticed, over by the checkout, was a person creating a HUGE scene, complaining loudly, there were FIVE staff people all trying to calm her down and “help” her. It seemed like she had ordered something online that she did not receive fast enough, so bought the same thing in the store, and they were only offering a refund of “sale price”. She didn’t seem to have remembered to bring any paperwork or receipts with her.
She had multicolored hair, and was wearing a very tight spandex sports bra and leggings (bare midriff). She was about 5’5”, and probably weighed well over 200 lbs.
I expect she went and posted stuff later on her social media, to indicate that Old Navy had been “racist” to her.
Not sure how it was resolved, because I just quickly paid for my purchase and got out of there.
Stupid employee. But still doesn’t mean it was racial profiling.
Maybe the woman was not acting the way most shoppers do. That doesn’t make her a bad person, but I can see a store employee becoming a bit suspicious, but it has nothing to do with race.
I would advise any conservative to eschew neon hair. The people who take up this fad seem to heavily crazy and often left wing.
Racial profiling? She was detained for suspicion of shoplifting. Or, is this girl saying she was racially profiled because she believes blacks are inherent thieves?
“something equally heinous”
That’s a very short list, these days:
1. White
2. Male
3. Christian
Sounds like one of my ex girlfriends after she lost weight........
When Calderon expressed that she came into the store with the shirt on, and simply didn’t remove the tag . . . “I would’ve been more calm and understanding if she didn’t accuse me first, and would’ve been happy to show my receipt,”
Wait, wait, wait... she came into the store wearing a shirt with a visible tag on it, and had her receipt with her?
Who does that?
Oh... someone who wants to look like they shoplifted something, be followed, be confronted, film the confrontation, and then whip out the receipt that she just happened to have on her... I mean, unless she JUST BOUGHT THAT SHIRT why would she be wearing it with the tag visible and the receipt on her? Indeed, even if she just bought that shirt... this was a set up, I think.
She ain't exactly pretty/Ain't exactly small...
I probably shouldn’t dis “multicolored hair”, since mine is multi-colored brown and white. LOL
The person I was describing had hair that was several pastel colors.
Yea, she's ugly, but she sure can cook baby......
I read somewhere else she always wears her clothes like this at old navy because the employees are stupid and give her a hard time about getting her refund of the sales price. Sure!
Third world problems.
