CVS employees accused Camilla Hudson of assault after she presented a coupon they suspected was fraudulent.
Two employees at a CVS store in Chicago are out of a job after one of them called the police on a black woman who presented a coupon they suspected was fraudulent.
Video capturing the tense scene on Friday night shows a white store employee visibly shaking while he appears to be on the phone with police. The customer, Camilla Hudson, can be heard giving her name and promising to wait for responding officers.
A spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department confirmed the call, telling HuffPost in an email that it was reported as an “assault in progress.”
====================================================
Another in this current rash of calling the cops on black people who are just going about their every day affairs. The coupon turned out to be valid and the 2 employees, one a manager, are now looking for work. Big national chains like CVS have pretty strict HR policies on this sort of thing.
