“If you can’t be nice, we don’t want you,” a woman says in the video to the man hurling insults.
“I don’t want them near my country,” he said.
“Too bad, we’re here,” Takkish replied. “Sucks for you.”
“Sucks for me? You’ll see what happens,” the man said.
“You’re racist, and this is on tape,” Takkish said.
The women praised the shop employees for standing up against the man and for showing that such hurtful comments were not the norm.
“I was really hurt because I’m like, ‘I’m American and I’m just as American as everyone else is here,” Takkish said. “Most people are like those women, so I don’t really look at it as a negative experience. I look at it as a very positive one.”
