I was working as a cashier a couple of years ago at a grocerie store. I was working the express lane credit or cash only 10 items or less. Well this black woman came into my line with a basket full of groceries i told her i was the express lane and she looked at me and said "And" and she kept putting her grocieries on the belt thing i called my manager over and he also told her it was the express lane she told him she was in a hurry she said she didn't have "that much groceries and it should only have taken me a minute to ring her up if i wasn't calling her out instead of doing my job" so i rang her groceries up then she pulls out her check book in the line with credit or cash only. So i told her cash or credit only trying to be as polite as i can since she was already getting on my nerves and she threw her check book in her purse and told me to just forget the sale and she called me a "stupid PINK B...H" and left. So was she not being racist by calling me that? I was really insulted.

Yes, I think so..
Being a racist does not only work against the "blacks". They work the other way too.. and in fact applicable to all races as well.
The fact that she thinks she can make use of the express lane, when she's not even entitled to it because of certain store requirements, makes her, in my opinion, think that her own race is superior and has the right to rule others...
(despite her lack of awareness, impoliteness, and out-of-place demands in this case)

OMG stop whining. Do you know how many times i've been insulted told i couldnt have this and that because of my skin color? First off what did you expect her to say? She was in a bad mood and was in a hurry. You answered the question yourself. And no im not trying to stick up for her just because she is black i would of done it if she was white asian doesnt make a difference.

Not only was she being racist, she was being a condescending *****.
I could never work as a cashier; I would get fired the first day, since I can picture myself easily telling annoying customers to go fcuk themselves.

Well, not only is that racist, it's also ignorant. I hate people like that. That kind of sense of entitlement is what's ruining society.

I don't think it was racist. I just think she was a grouchy person.
