Portland, Ore., bakery caved to a disgruntled customer’s allegations of racism and fired two employees after they wouldn’t serve a customer because the shop was closed.

Back to Eden Bakery sent multiple apologies and public statements admitting it’s racist because it refused to serve a black woman who entered the shop after hours and asked to buy a pastry even though the shop had closed.

The incident occurred in early May and is now circulating in the news, garnering a strong public response on Facebook and social media. A woman named only as “Lillian” entered the bakery at 9:06 p.m. after the shop had already closed, according to the bakeshop’s Facebook post about the event. Confusion arose because the shop was unusually busy for the late hour and there were still a few customers in line who the shop agreed to serve but who’d been informed the shop was officially closed. The lighted “Open” sign had been turned off.

“...they probably should have gone ahead and locked the door and then served the person.”

So I tried to leave - but the door was LOCKED!!! The gal behind the counter was putting the dish of pastries back - and here I am - STUCK at the locked door. I started to panic as I'm thinking I'm going to be locked in all night. What if there was a FIRE!!! OMG!!!!

The distress I felt - the anxiety. I tried to go into work the following day - but just seeing the doorway I freaked out. Now I'm on disability. I'm in the process of working with my lawyer. I heard a similar case where the person received one BILLION dollars, but even that doesn't begin to cover the mental anguish.
