MARY FROM WALMART RACIAL PROFILING

As shoppers continue to shop at the top spots. This Walmart was met with some resistance.  An elderly lady that was working for Walmart was racially profiling its shoppers.  She proceed to mimick black actions including flashing the, "west side," hand sign.  She was mimicking black mannerisms as she was talking to the people.  She was upset that children earlier were shopping and that they thought it was a playground.  The Walmart associate became belligerent and started to accuse the black customers of drug dealing.  The manager of whom was in charge of the customer service representative provided her with a tone very reminiscent of ageism by saying, "No Mary I'll take care of you."  The Walmart manager then proceed to talk to the customers and provide them with the information in which they can file a complaint.  This incident goes to show how black people are being stereotyped for criminal activity and how they are viewed in the eyes of the public. Furthermore it shows that perhaps ageism is perhaps very present in the work place.
