So what did he say to the white guy while talking about black lives matter. Sounds like he talked trash. Emboldened by current events. Now he’s the victim because he was told to stop it.

Note this is from the indy “red” star which has outright a socialist sympathizer rag but showed NO pictures of the destruction and vandalism of the city after the protests. But they did show all the wonderful urban art on boarded up windows.

How is it that I can go into thousands of places a year and not get kicked out. I am sure it’s not skin color.

It sounds like somebody in his group of 4 or 5 people started an argument with another customer. Maybe that general disruption was the reason.
You have to really work at getting kicked out of a Chipotle’s. The customers are there because they like the Chipotle products and style of service. It’s usually a fast moving though jovial atmosphere.

If some minor tiff throws the pace of service off, the managers want to quickly resolve the issue. All the customers are in one line going clockwise.
If one person starts some static with another customer, it throws everybody off.

another hoax

If he was thrown out.. IF, it was due to some bad behavior like most of the time when blacks are kicked out of some place.

Whites who act like trash get removed from places all of the time.

Prepare for it. The CEO of Chipotle will go on TV to make an emotional apology. He will close all stores for a day to reeducate employees.

Or will it hold fast to the truth?
