I've worked in three different supermarkets and a bookstore, I have absolutely experienced this kind of shit before. It gave me a different impression to a black being in the supermarket queue than the one I had as a customer...it's equally annoying to have to sit through the slow packing, the coupon and credit card shuffle, but on top of that there's also pressure and guilt because I can see the other customers waiting impatiently for my service. It's pushed me to a point where I don't want to have to work retail ever again.
I took over a library job for a while, though, and we got school visits from young kids with the teachers who have enough patience to arrange such a thing. The black kids (about 70% of the class) ALWAYS destroy the books, have huge crying temper fits because their teacher's rule is to take one book only and they want to take more. They leave snacks crushed into the carpet and the beanbags in the kids' area. And they just drop books on the floor, sometimes opened at the spine and causing page damage. I dreaded the mornings that they came in because trying to get the teacher to give two shits about what her wild animals were doing to the place was impossible.

Taking niglets to a library, talk about a pointless activity...
