The store clerk also threatened the customers that “ICE will come,” adding that they were “in the wrong country.”
In the midst of a national controversy about President Donald Trump’s inflammatory tweets towards minority congresswomen, a store clerk at an Illinois convenience store has been fired after he was caught on video telling customers to “go back to their country.”
According to local news station CBS2 Chicago, it all began when Carolina Buitron was cycling with six of her family members on July 16 and one bike broke near the convenience store of a Mobil gas station in Naperville. According to the Buitron family, her two aunts went inside to confront the unnamed employee when he refused the teen service.
As the outraged Buitron family members leave the store, the clerk tells the women “you’re in the wrong country,” bidding them farewell with a sarcastic “God bless you.” Kalhorn, confirming that the man had been fired, tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “The comments of this associate are not reflective of the core values of Bucky's Convenience Stores,” and that the company is working to “ensure that all customers are treated with respect.”
Meanwhile, the Naperville Police Department announced it was investigating the incident at Bucky’s, and Mayor Steve Chirico publicly condemned the clerk’s behavior towards the Buitron family, adding that the “city prides itself on being open and inclusive to all.”
