****ing idiots, trying to sue for every little thing, I hope TRU counter sues those bitches... how's that racist, they just want to make sure people aren't stealing from them, I'd do the same thing, some people also give off a bad vibe that makes you want to check them regardless of their race...

[MaddenMuscle]

OMG!!!! that is just disgusting. Why do they always think they are being oppressed?

Just look at some of the comments on this board about non-white ppl dude.

That's not an excuse to throw the race card BUT there are instances a minority is being oppressed.

[payton34]

[m.i.c.h.a.e.l]

stupid.

asking for a receipt is not worth 200 million dollars or anything. quit your race card unless they are being verbally or physically abused

[Monkey Helmet]

That's funny that this got posted because I was just at Toys R Us yesterday with my girlfriend to get a gift for her nephew and we were stopped and asked to show our receipt at the door.

I go to court with them Friday...

[peng]

I hope they get their ass handed to them, and are forced to pay for all court costs or something.

[CapOne818]

Just another example of how stupid people can be!!!!!

I agree.

[HY9]

pricks, they just want the money

[dollee]

that's why I don't like black people



















jk. but seriously that's ridiculous.

[MaddenMuscle]

Exactly right. Makes me sick.

what relevence does that have in this situation?

they were asked to show their receipt, stanard procedureno matter what race you are. if you're asked to show your receipt, show it.

i've been asked to show ID a few times going to nightclubs, should i have played the race card?

i've been patted down before entering a nightclub, should i have sued the nightclub?

i dont see your point, the people sueing are complete morons. no matter what race they are, to sue over a security measure is moronic.

how was racial discrimination being shown?

what so afircan americans can go rob stores and when asked to open their bag they can sue for racial discrimination? a bit extreme example here but not far off.

of course, i'm not being racist or showing racial discrimination. just trying to see what point of view you have.

When I was in law school I read cases that were twisted by the media to push an anti-tort agenda. I am not saying that this is the case with this particular story. (Just saying) (no lawyer)

you honestly think being asked to see a receipt or having a bag searched is racist, or discrimanitory? If so, urine idiot. (spelt wrong on purpose)

If not, I take it back.

Agreed. He said it wasn't an excuse, BUT there are instances.

On topic, I get asked all the time if I buy something too big for a bag or whatever. its no big deal, it probably would've taken an extra 20 seconds to find the receipt in your bag or purse. These women were just trying to get money. The people @ Sam's are always lifting up and physically counting everything I have that's in the cart and I don't scream "racist".

Once again, the misc does a great job of generalizing people.

[m.i.c.h.a.e.l]

that right there is a reason why some people are racist.

[Deadgame]

I often get asked for my reciept from Wal-mart. I usually just stand there trying to fish it out of the front of my tighty whiteys while the greeter looks on in astonishment. I had no idea it was worh a few million.

That makes no sense.

Igonrance causes racism.

[Cramerica]

The lawsuit said black shoppers are subjected to compulsory inspection of their sales receipts while white shoppers are not.

Why is it always just blacks and whites? What happened to Indians, Asians, and Hispanics?

Do they not shop in Toys Be Us either?

[JYC]

lol @ them considering filing a class action against toys r us

yeah... that'll show them not to check black people's reciepts

fuking idiots... the judge better dismiss this as frivolous

I think you misread what I said.

No, reread.
