        How much you want to bet the employee didn't even get what was happening? It probably reinforced what they were already thinking and they didn't even realize they caused it.

        Yup, I was thinking the same. She did great, served them right, but it might have just sparked more stereotyping and have given them confidence in their assumptions.

        Had the same "special" attention when shopping for duty-free perfume in Heathrow. 😑😑😑 They felt dumb when I whipped out my MasterCard when they stated the price. Yeah. I'm not the one. The shoplifters aren't one race. 😑pic.twitter.com/ISwlJieRrH
