Social media is torn about a video that has gone viral showing an upper-middle-aged white woman yelling at an older Black woman. The white woman is the manager of a grocery store and the Black woman is a cashier.
The argument stems from the approved work schedule that is supposed to be adhered to.
According to the manager, the cashier often stays on the clock, running up her work hours, and submits over the assigned time hours at the end of the pay cycle. The manager says she is checking the employee and telling her to leave her post because she has gotten in trouble with her higher-ups because she has so many extra hours.
The Black woman never addresses the actual managerial complaint. Instead, she tells the woman to stop yelling at her and to remove her fingers from her face.
“Clock out. Clock out,” the manager says at the beginning of the video. “I haven’t cheated you on anything. You were scheduled 29 1/2 hours. Why won’t you clock in and out on your time? You got your hours.”
The manager said she had spoken to the worker about not taking her breaks, and how it made her go over the labor hours for the week by almost 6 1/2 hours.
At one point, the cashier slams her bag down on the counter and says, “You don’t know who you messing with!” and walks around the counter. “Don’t do this to me.”
This is when the manager marches up to her and says, “Get! I’m not scared of you anymore.”
“I’m not scared of you,” the cashier replies. Nose to nose, the manager says again, “Leave.”
