Vine User Blasts Employees Following Him Around Stores In Best Possible Way
The Huffington Post | By Cate Matthews


While shopping in a series of convenience stores, Vine user Rashid Polo realized that something was up: the store employees around him were ostensibly hard at work, bending to rearrange products for sale, busying themselves with drink machines, but they kept popping up wherever he went.

This phenomenon was not a new experience for Polo, and no matter where he was or what he was doing, it seemed he was guilty of only one crime: shopping while black.

So he came up with the brilliant idea to catch the clerks on camera and uploaded the resulting videos to Vine.

1. Happens across this country every damn day.

I applaud this young man for finding a way to show people who've never had to experience this what is really taking place.

And the look on their faces when they realize he's caught them on camera!

8. I'm tempted to

post a link to this in the comments section of one of Julie Borowski's (aka. tokenlibertariangirl) videos titled "Check Your Privilege", but I don't have the patience or energy to argue with willfully-ignorant people on YouTube like how I did before.

9. When I worked retail, I never understood the busybodies who were on theft lookout all day.

We didn't get paid enough to give a shit.

And we certainly didn't get paid enough to be racist shitheels.

12. While holding a video camera.

I'm going to give someone a pass for watching a customer videotape themselves in a store, black or not.
