A New Orleans woman says a dollar store cashier refused to help her because she’s gay.
Family Dollar said it is investigating the incident.

[oh8eleven]

So we have a black clerk and a white lesbian. Ya' think Family Dollar has the guts to fire the clerk?
(P.S. The video is worth a peek.)

[arl295]

The clerk should be fired for not doing her job and move on

(OF course if the story is true)

But this stuff is getting stupid

[Borges]

I simply don’t believe these stories anymore. Too many turn out to be bogus.

[Smokin' Joe]

It’s kinda like seeing an endangered species of animal eating an endangered species of plant.

[Resolute Conservative]

How would the clerk know? Fire the clerk end of story.

“You ignorant!” the man yelled. “You an ignorant stupid b---h. Ignorant as a motherf---er, man. You can’t tell you ignorant?”

“I got a job. I’m here!” the woman barked back.

I am so proud of our public schools.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Gay people shopping at Family Dollar?

What is this? The Onion??

[PAR35]

Get some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Maybe the clerk should get a job at Whole Foods.

I don’t know why these outfits don’t just put their videos on YouTube, I never could get this one to load from their server in Elbonia...

[relictele]

Family Dollar letter sent:

To clarify, you were refused service because you’re ugly. Apologies for any confusion.

[yoe]

American public education is a total failure, that video was from America wasn’t it?.....I wouldn’t want to serve that walking billboard either regardless of her claim to be gay......

[jwalsh07]

Did she have Lesbos inked on her forehead?

[Nifster]

I don’t believe it for a minute.

Who goes into a store saying I’m gay you have to serve me?

[Marko413]

Assuming that is the real reason the clerk refused to help them, yes the clerk should be fired. However, given the history of falsified complaints we have so far with gays, I’d wager there is more to the story that conveniently wasn’t on video.

[miss marmelstein]

Lesbos do. Gay guys not so much.

[jmaroneps37]

“Lundford then added: “She won’t serve me because I’m gay and because he doesn’t like anti-gay people.”

[VanDeKoik]

That’s why I dont set foot in a Family Dollar.

It’s like a down-market Walmart. Too many freaks all around.

[CSM]

How does the clerk even know who the customers have sex with?

This story doesn’t come close to passing the sniff test.

[Roccus]

Who goes into a store saying I’m gay you have to serve me?

Gay men and women.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I don’t set foot in Family Dollar because all the ones near me are in neighborhoods where you would need to wear a flak jacket and pack heat.
