Returning item while black at Hobby Lobby



https://www.theroot.com/white-hobby-lobby-manager-calls-police-on-black-custome-1826072557

“When I gave her [the cashier] the machine, she told me that she needed to check with the manager to see if the item was returnable,” Spurlock told The Root, apparently unaware that white women always need to speak to the manager. “The manager said she would have to check with corporate.”

The cashier returned to Spurlock and told him the manager was calling the store’s corporate office, as if Hobby Lobby has a staff of operators on standby waiting to approve trinket returns. The manager asked Spurlock to step aside and wait while she called Hobby Lobby’s Cricut Emergency Return Squad.

Hobby Lobby Laura was not calling “corporate.”

She was calling the police.

Hobby Lobby doesn't get a dime of my money, anyway. This is just sad. At this point, I'm at a total loss of words. SMDH
