On top of that, apparently annoyed that she’s being filmed with her disgusting attitude, the employee actually approaches the woman filming and seemingly attempts to smack the phone out of her hand.

“True racism at its finest,” Jeyfree said under the Instagram post. “As she straight kicked us out and jumped in my face saying she would beat me up.. This world that we live in is in a spiritual warfare ! I am APPALLED! STOP THE HATE ! Was I threat ? Do y’all hear my tone as I told her you didn’t have to tell me that ? After I asked her for management name .. Why the negative energy ?”
