In reply to the discussion: Chipotle manager fired - made African americans prove they can pay BEFORE ORDERING [View all]suffragette
(12,232 posts)55. Awhile back, I was in line at a local drugstore when someone attempted to steal cigarettes. The
would be thief jumped over the waist- high counter, pushed past the cashier and grabbed a few packs. The cashier reactively yelled, shoved him back and knocked several of the packs out of his hand. He jumped back over the counter and ran out the nearby door. Not sure if he managed to hang on to any of the packs he grabbed.
It all happened so quickly. The cigarettes are in a locked plexiglass case, but it was unlocked since someone had just bought some cigarettes. The guy must have been watching for his moment
Not saying this is what has happened at that Chipotle before, but a determined person could reach and grab or even vault and grab.

No, calling the police simply because of a persons color or religion has been condemned

This is about this SPECIFIC person having done this in the past, not profiling.

It's difficult for me to comprehend you aren't aware of how transparent this schtick is.
