Showing Original Post only (View all)Chipotle manager fired - made African americans prove they can pay BEFORE ORDERING [View all]
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6403387/Chipotle-manager-fired-asking-customers-pay-ordering.htmlThe video, which was posted to Twitter on Friday morning, features a group of young black men who are told they cannot order until they prove they have money to pay.
In the video, the manager of the restaurant in St Paul, Minnesota tells the customers 'you gotta pay because you never have money when you come in here.'
Masaud Ali, 21, recorded the incident and posted it on social media, captioning the video: 'Can a group of young well established African American get a bite to eat after a long workout session. @ChipotleTweets??'
