The store issues an apology:

"We respect Zendaya's voice in the community and similarly are committed to diversity and inclusion," the statement continued. "Moreover, we understand that race is a sensitive issue in America and view this experience as a reminder that every interaction is an opportunity to treat each customer as we ourselves would like to be treated." 

 

Hmmm.

 

 

 

Summary for lazy bishes:

 

On Tuesday evening, the 20-year-old actress made claims on Snapchat that an employee at Vons grocery store refused to serve her and threw her wallet back at her when she attempted to purchase $400 in gift cards. 

"The lady that was helping us... I don't think she was a huge fan of our skin tone," Zendaya told her Snapchat followers. The Spiderman: Homecoming actress also alleged the clerk told her she couldn't afford the purchase before she threw the wallet at Zendaya. 

"This is what we deal with..." Zendaya said, before her male friend added, "Because we're black."

Disgusting. It's sad how we're treated just because of our skin tone. I'm glad Zendaya called them out and I hope the employee got fired.

not surprised. i still get followed around in stores. matter of fact it happened to me once by someone my same color and then i told the manager and she not only did nothing but preceeded to say that the girl wouldn't do anything like that (the manager was the same color as us). funny thing is that I was a regular who always shopped there but it was only me she watched. it's done to us by people outside of our race and it's done to us by people inside our race.

wow thats not a way to treat ur costumer... 

 u cant just be like: u cant afford this, so go away

wtf do u know, what someone can afford and what they cant O_O 

do people have to come all dolled up to buy shit from u? 

in my country u can see stuff like that too, but not because of race, but 

of how dressed u are  ,not too long ago I read an artical about how cashier

told a disabled person to go away coz they wont afford anything, only because of the disability...

tho a girl had enough money to buy stuff she wanted to buy. -__- i dont understand 

how people can be so rude.

[Thigh-high feminist]

Yep, I've had someone of my own race follow me around the store too. Every aisle I moved to, she was there a second later, "straightening up". But while I was in there a woman of another race came in & she didn't even pretend to be interested in her   I will never go back to that store
