A Georgia woman took to TikTok to share a bad experience she had with a customer who threatened to call ICE. Posted by TikTok user Allooondraa, the TikTok video depicts her following a customer leaving the store, with Allooondraa repeatedly asking the customer to repeat what she said. “You gonna call ICE on who?” Allooondraa says in the video.
The customer doesn’t break stride as she heads back to her vehicle. She says nothing to Allooondraa. “Yeah, exactly. Watch your mouth. You’re being all quiet now. Who are you gonna call ICE on?” Allooondraa asks again. The customer stops for a moment, seems to say something inaudible, then leaves.
According to Allooondraa, this all started when the customer came into the store “with an attitude.” She wanted a specific model, but was upset the phone store didn’t have it in stock.
Though Allooondraa offered a solution—to buy the phone online—she didn’t let up. The customer then allegedly yelled profanity at Allooondraa and threatened to call ICE on her.
Viewers react to Allooondraa’s bad customer experience
Commenters online weren’t having it at all online, calling out the customer for her racist behavior. Not to mention appalled that someone would stoop so low as to threaten ICE over the phone. “Omg! Near a Mexican store too,” wrote a viewer, while another called the customer “racist.”
Some commenters seemed to recognize the area and shared their disgust online. TikTok user Fgo_Christ wrote that it was a local shop and scolded the customer. “She should know better then to say that stupid shii where shes at, half the ppl in the area are Hispanic.”
Another TikTok user, with no name but a bunch of numbers, tried to stir up trouble by playing devil’s advocate. “What did you say or do beforehand?” Allooondraa commented back that all the context was in her caption and not to assume she part of the problem.
“She’s so ashamed of herself that she had to walk away. 💀ðŸ˜,” TikTok user Candy wrote. She thought it was funny that people clam up when a camera is present and recalled a story about her neighbor. He “just stood there quietly” when Candy made it known he was being recorded, after making a nasty comment about her being in the U.S. illegally.
Since ICE started becoming more prevalent in the media, this kind of behavior has become notably more common. And clearly, from the response on Allooondraa’s TikTok video, people are recognizing it for the racism that it is.
