Trumpism at work!
Quote:
After a man last Thursday approached the checkout at a Home Depot in Albany, N.Y., staff member Maurice Rucker asked him to leash his dog. That’s when the man exploded.
Rucker, a 60-year-old black man, claimed he was fired Tuesday after defending himself from a customer who, he told the Times Union, went on a racist tirade. But after the news media covered his story, the company changed its mind.
The customer allegedly responded to Rucker’s request with insults.
“If Trump wasn’t president, you wouldn’t even have a job,” the customer said, according to Rucker’s retelling to NBC affiliate WNYT. “You’re from the ghetto, what do you know?”

This associate had been employed by HD for 10 years and for 8 of those years, Obama was president! Ignorance has no limits.
Home Depot said it would provide backpay, but it’s unclear whether Rucker has accepted the offer.
