7-11 Workers Refuse to Ring Up A Man's Purchase - Alexandria, VA

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/10/21/racist-7-eleven-racist-employees/

A disturbing video that was uploaded to facebook yesterday reportedly shows several convenience store employees refusing to accept money from a black child. The scene was recorded at a 7-Eleven store in Alexandria, Virginia. As a little boy, who is being held by his father, tries to pay for a bag of chips, the three workers can be seen refusing to take the money out of the child’s hand. The video goes on for a minute and a half, as angry and frustrated customers of the store tell the workers to take the child’s money.

It wasn’t until a white woman standing next to the boy and his father finally spoke up, paying for the child’s chips herself, that the workers finally rang up and cashed out the sale. The woman can be heard saying as she pushes the money at one of the cashiers:

“You all are acting like crazy people. You are in the customer service business.”

Clearly distraught by what she has just witnessed, the woman then tells the workers:

“I am going to report you to the 7-Eleven franchise. All three of you.”

Doubt reason to knock out the clerks which is violence as the person states he is going to knock out the women. Calls them retarded and gay as if those are slurs along with pos.
They suggest taking the chips with out paying for them
7-11 replied they have been restricted by the store from purchasing due to previous threats or thefts and that is why they were making the kid give the money . They can not purchase there as they have lost their privilege.
