Witness to CVS Coupon Incident Says There's More to This Viral Story
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 7/18/2018 | Alexandra Arriaga

A CVS customer snub initially characterized as a racial incident now appears to be more complicated than that.

An Edgewater resident who was at CVS when a white manager called the police on a black woman after rejecting her coupon, says customer Camilla Hudson was “going off loudly,” refusing to leave, and following the other manager when he went into the employee-only part of the store.

On Friday, Hudson, 53, posted on Facebook the now-viral video of CVS employee Morry Matson calling the police to remove her from the CVS Pharmacy at 6150 N. Broadway. “I had the police called on me for attempting to use a coupon @ the CVS Pharmacy located at 6150 N. Broadway in Chicago!” she said in her post which has received national media attention and nearly half-million views on Facebook.

“I was there looking for a snack, and suddenly I hear this woman yelling, she raised her voice, was yelling at the manager ‘Is this what you consider customer service?'” Jordan said.

Jordan said Hudson created a scene. “I was very uncomfortable, the other customer that was standing there with me, she looked uncomfortable,” Jordan said. “It’s being reported that they called [police] because of a coupon, that’s just not it.”

Trump’s fault, of course. Impeach him.

“Why didn’t CVS release camera footage? You know they have it.”

Yup. That will put the whole blasted thing to rest.

As is true in about 99% of these shullbit scams.

But most of us already knew that.

the coupon says “Void if... reproduced...”

Was it? Did she print it out herself or was it cut out from a professionally printed source that was authorized (and paid for) by the manufacturer?

That was unclear in the article, unless my reading comprehension is lacking.

My Colombian cleaning woman told me how they all boo’ed when President Trump welcomed them to America during their swearing-in ceremony. It didn’t even occur to her that she would have insulted me.

Where you're at, I would assume conservatives are relatively rare. She probably just played the odds. :)

DL: as of October, I will be joining you in the south. My house is sold and I just placed a bid on a beautiful house waaaay below the Mason/Dixon line. Can’t wait!

Yeah, from the start I didn’t understand why in the world she would think it’s racial. Maybe it’s a fake coupon, maybe it’s not, but that doesn’t make it all about race, lady. I watched the video last week of him shaking - she must have gone totally Whoopi on him, but where’s that part?

On an up note, my cleaning lady - a brand new American - has suddenly turned into some kind of alt-right nutcase who hates all Hispanics, Indians, and any others she deems unsatisfactory additions to the melting pot. Talk about change on a dime!

I would worry about that. It sounds like an attempt to present her self as what she thinks conservatives want to hear.

We don't hate people on the basis of their race, religion or country of origin, but we do not want more socialist minded people immigrating into this country.

I personally don't want any Swedes or anyone from Western Europe either. They are nuts, and there is no reason we should want to let them come here to soil our nest the way they have soiled theirs.

At the moment, the only people i'm interested in seeing immigrate here are people from Eastern Europe or even Russia. People who have suffered under socialism know best why we shouldn't have it here.

I’m not in the South, but I wish you happiness there! I imagine it must be cheaper than New York. :)

Oh, I thought you were.

Yes, I’m tired of taxes. I own a home in NJ. They’ve decided to tax water.

To be honest, DL, I don’t think my cleaning lady is all that bright!

And you know what? I don’t want Brits here! They are horrible. Just go to the Expat websites and you’ll be horrified at the Brits living here. They want to rip us off for all we’re worth and then return to home laughing at us.

I thought you were in New York, but from what I've read, New Jersey is just as costly. It seems like everyone in government is just trying to milk people for as much as they can get out of them.

I own a home in NJ and rent an apt. in NYC. I have lived full-time in NYC for over 35 years. (As a renter - I never could afford to own in Manhattan.) Just to be clear, my FRiend.

Why didn’t CVS release camera footage?

Because it will show the manager is telling the truth and the crazy customer is lying?

And they would rather fire two white managers than have a "woman of color" go on accusing them of being racists?

All company rules must be firmly enforced unless a person of color complains about them.

Oh, I agree about the Brits. The UK has lost it's F***ing mind! Europe has decided to commit suicide, and it's population has become brain dead stupid. They are stuck on socialism/pacifism/diversity insanity, and I predict that there will be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in their future.

I feel bad for some of them, but not bad enough that I want their sickness over here.

The Germans are bad too. I talked to one of them yesterday, and he was supporting Merkel's immigration policies. Just nuts.

That coupon looks fake as hell!

From the story, "The company issuing the coupon confirms it is legitimate."

I stand corrected, but the coupon *still* looks dodgy.

I'd think that CVS would have something a bit more professional looking.

A CVS opened a few years ago, just a few blocks from our home. My wife got a bunch of coupons from them and decided to use some. When she got to the checkout, NONE of the coupons were honored. There was always some restriction in the fine print on the back (and I do mean FINE print — it could not be read without a magnifier). My wife left everything there and has never been back.

What was the reason they explained?

"Not valid at all locations"
"With $xxx purchase"
