DISCLAIMER: I am ONLY including the people's races because it is important to the story. I have nothing against people of ANY race!
Me: (my race is not important to the story)
CW: AWESOME coworker who does guest relations (he's African American - this is important to story)
SC: who else? (African American - this is important to story)
SC comes to the register with her ticket to the science center.
SC: I want a refund.
Me: Sure, that's not a problem, ma'am. But can I ask why?
SC: I just want a refund.
Me: Is there any particular reason why? Are you upset with anything, ma'am?
SC: I just want my refund!
So I shrugged it off, took her ticket, and gave her the refund.
Then she proceeds to walk into the science center, while making continuous eye contact with me!
So I call over CW, and tell him that SC just got a refund on her ticket and went into the science center anyway. He goes after her, and she tells him that she saw someone else go in without a ticket, so she should be able to do it too. My awesome CW then asked EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the science center (it's only one room) if they had a ticket. And every single person did.
But instead of admitting defeat, SC threw out this little gem in front of everybody when CW asked her to leave:
SC: *shouting* You're just being racist!! I'm going to sue you for racial discrimination!!
CW: *motions to his face and body* Seriously?
SC seemed to come to her senses, made the catbutt face, and left. And we never heard anything else about it.
Honestly though, if she had seen someone go in without a ticket - why didn't she say anything when she asked me for a refund? Any why did she try to pull the race card on a fellow African American???
