I was getting numbers and names to call and complain about the mask. The manger walked over to explain his father is darker than me. I explained I never accused him personally of racial profiling customers. Your dad being darker than me has nothing to do with me being stopped and reminded to put on a mask but your white employees and customers aren’t wearing masks. He didn’t like my response and called the police on me. 4 police officers showed up and that’s when I started recording because I feared for my life.
