Title: New York, NY - Black Shoppers Sue NYC Toys 'R' Us for Discrimination.
Post by: Yisrael on July 12, 2007, 01:07:21 AM
New York, NY - Two black shoppers have sued Toys "R" Us saying they were subjected to racial discrimination and unjustified scrutiny at a store in New York.

Patricia Drayton and Valerie Kirk said in the lawsuit that the store in The Bronx, a borough of New York City, discriminated against them by asking them to show their sales receipts. The suit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court on Tuesday.

Drayton said in the lawsuit that she was stopped by a security guard at the door of the store and asked to show her receipt. After refusing to do so, she was made to wait while the employee checked with a cashier to see if she had purchased the merchandise, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said black shoppers are subjected to compulsory inspection of their sales receipts while white shoppers are not.[reuters]

If she just would have showed her sales receipt like a normal person, nothing would have happened.  They always have to start problems wherever they go.
