Black Shoppers Sue Toys 'R' Us for Racial Discrimination

NEW YORK — Two black shoppers have sued Toys "R" Us saying they were subjected to racial discrimination and unjustified scrutiny at a store in New York.

Patricia Drayton and Valerie Kirk said in the lawsuit that the store in The Bronx, a borough of New York City, discriminated against them by asking them to show their sales receipts. The suit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday.

Drayton said in the lawsuit that she was stopped by a security guard at the door of the store and asked to show her receipt. After refusing to do so, she was made to wait while the employee checked with a cashier to see if she had purchased the merchandise, the lawsuit said.

According to court documents, Kirk was told by a man working at the story that Toys "R" Us's policy required that she show her receipt to him prior to leaving the store. Kirk said in the suit that she refused to comply and was banned from shopping there.

The lawsuit said black shoppers are subjected to compulsory inspection of their sales receipts while White shoppers are not.

The women are asking the court to give the suit class action status to represent all black shoppers who have been subjected to the same procedures by Toys "R" Us.

Representatives for Toys "R" Us and Metro One were not available for comment.

Metro One, which provides loss prevention services to retail stores, and several people employed by the two companies are also being sued by the women.They are seeking compensatory and punitive damages of at least $200 million each on behalf of the class.

---I used to get the same bullshit story when I was a screener at the airport. Someone of color would always say "oh you are doing this because im such and such". I felt like looking at them and saying "No sir/ma'am Im doing this because youre an asshole, but in reality it was because we found something suspicious looking in their bag. The next time something shitty happens to me at a retail store,like waiting in line for more than 5 minutes, or having my bags checked because I have slicked back hair and some tattoos. im gonna blame it on the color of my skin too, deal?---
