Chico Deon Young recorded himself chastising the employee at a Family Dollar in Houston, Texas, after overhearing a conversation she had in Spanish with another customer.
He said he was standing behind a female customer at the checkout line when the Spanish-speaking employee told her that she constantly puts items behind the counter because Black people only come in the store to steal.
When he approached the counter to pay for his items, he checked the worker about her behavior and derogatory remarks.
“Let me give you a word of advice,” Young says to the employee. “You got to watch what you say when you say it because you don’t know who speaks Spanish.”
“I wasn’t even saying it like that,” the employee is heard saying off-camera as Young starts speaking Spanish to her.
“They be talking that s—t in Spanish, thinking people don’t understand they a—,” Young says to the camera, before shouting at the employee in Spanish. “So when you talk about Black folks in Spanish, a bunch of them understand what you’re saying.”
A video of a Black customer who caught a Family Dollar worker unawares after revealing that he understood the disparaging comments she made about Black people in Spanish went viral online and ended in the employee’s termination.
