Occurred on March 28, 2019 / San Jose, California, USA
Info from Licensor: "It happened inside the Shell gas station. I walked inside the store and there were two cashiers at that time. One of them greeted me in Spanish and asked me how my day was going. The other cashier tapped her on the shoulder and said, “Stop speaking Spanish, talk English because this is America”. I thought it was a joke, so I apologized to her for speaking Spanish and I told her that we were just talking about our day. She said she did not care and continued saying to talk in English because this is America and Trump needs to build the wall. That's when I decided to start videotaping her. It breaks my heart that she did not care at all that I had my 18-month-old in my arms. As you can see in the video, she became very verbally aggressive. I called the manager he never answered, so I called corporate that same day and she got fired."
