A black delivery driver was told by his manager that he would not be making a delivery because the customer had said she only wanted a white driver in her house.
Marcus Bradley, an African American, who has worked for Lowe's Home Improvement for the last 11 years, was left devastated after his manager complied with the customer's outrageous wish.
The shocking incident reportedly happened in the city of Danville, situated in the US state of Virginia.

I would fire the manager for making it public
The woman may be a racist, but that’s not the rest of the worlds concern when she makes a purchase
They have many customers, some of them are a$$holes... but ‘why that was shared with anyone other than the phone call receiver is bad business
My BS detector is freaking out. I’ll beliieve it after he wins $10M in damages.
Bingo. And not only that, if the driver was “devasted” by the existence of one racist customer, then he’s too flaky to drive a truck safely.
That’s awful.
Looks like its time for another episode of Race Card Lotto. This time courtesy of Lowes. Tell us, Johnny, what our contestant can look forward to getting today!
So a reporter went to the woman’s house and asked her about her request. How did they get her information?
Who knows maybe one of her friends was murdered or raped by a black person.
And in a BLUE STATE too . . . if Obama’s son drove a truck . . .
For “inhome” delivery ....many bus. are NOT VETTING ANY EMPLOYEES...
The color doesnt matter ....but the history sure as hell does.....
My guess is that during Lowes manager training for deliveries, he was instructed to "do whatever you need to do to make the customer happy!"
....if true, pretty stupid.
Let me just say: I do not trust the media.
The manager was fired, not for making it public, but for accommodating the racist request in the first place. And rightfully so. The manager’s response to the idiotic request should have been that the delivery would be made by the driver assigned to that route (whoever that driver was), and that if the customer did not want to accept delivery for whatever reason, she was free to refuse delivery, take her business elsewhere, and pay a restocking fee.
Good point.
Devastated, I tell ya.
One of those words, you can’t think of a song that it’s in.
The story continues. Lowes investigated the incident. The driver will continue to drive for Lowes. The manager is gone. The customer told reporters that she could ask for whatever she wanted. Where is the BS.
That’s disgusting.
Devastated? Seriously? If that is the case he needs to turn in his balls.
Black on white crime is real... it could have been a factor.
And this is “news”?
Geez, if everytime a minority assaulted, raped, insulted, threatened, took advantage of, or wanted to do business with “like kind only” got this sort of coverage . . .
Then the “news” business would be thriving.
