Black Shoppers sue $400 Million for being asked to show receipt

Frivilous.

Guitar Center stopped me before I left there Tuesday night and checked my receipt.

Might have been because I was carrying $300 worth of gear out the door.

Oh wait....they check everybody. My bad.

 

i read it, i just assumed they pulled that statement right out of their ass.

 

No, it was only because you're a Jew

 

Hey Zion, I read the article.
I live in New York.
I have a 15 month old daughter.
I am white.

I am forced to show my receipt EVERY TIME I leave Toys R Us.

And trust me, I spoil the crap outta my daughter...I go about 2x a month.

This lawsuit is bs and these ladies should be punished for wasting the court's time.

 

I think this is a cleverly disguised racist thread.

 

Hispanic?

 

I don't ever show my receipt.

 

those people are overreacting, sueing because they have to show a receipt. I do want to trivialize their complaint. they had to show a receipt which is normal in a store, and then they refused. And now they are complaining

 

Hmm, whenever I leave Toys R Us, I'm asked to show my penis.

 

sometimes the surface looks too ambiguous that you just have to straight ask.

 

I'm glad I'm white and therefore nothing bad ever happens to me.

 

I swear i knew someone was gonna post this right after mr clutch's post lol

 

in practice, the only people that actually make a reasonable amount of money are the lawyers and the original people suing. everyone else gets something like 20 bux.

 

someone asked me to pay for the beer i was buying and actually wanted to see ID to verify my credit card...OOHHH the racism is killing me!!!

ohh my neck...my back...my neck and my back. I'm sueing for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars...but i'll settle right now for $20

 

Yeah, you're right.

That's why the bank let's me wander out with tens of thousands of dollars in my hands without asking for a transaction receipt. We Jews run the international banking system, so when the security guard sees that mezuzah around my neck, he just smiles at me and lets me go.

I wish!

 

Let me know if you hook that up because I'll convert!

 

One time I bought one of those insulated coolers that hold about a 1/2 gallon of water. I checked out at Target in Meyerland and this security guard popped up out of nowhere asking for me receipt. I showed it to him. He then asks me to open the top. I had two other bags and told him if he wanted to look inside he would have to open it himself. He looked annoyed but gave it a couple attempts to open it. He started to look embarrassed. Finally he got it to open and looked and saw it was empty. After he was done I told him he could have just shaken it.

I like being Indian. The old Indian people who work the doors at walmart never bug me. But they do try to recruit me to their temple. I feel bad. I should tell them I am Christian and not Hindu.

 

It doesn't sound frivolous to me. It might be that Toys R Us has a policy to check all shopper receipts, but the people at the door are lax on the white people. That's worth a lawsuit. $400 million might not be the right number, which is what the suit is supposed to determine, but if it is for the millions of black shoppers discriminated against in this way, then it should probably be big. Of course, they could have pulled the accusation out of their ass, but again, that's why they have trials. Can we really just assume that TRU is not discriminating?

 

Correct.
