Tyra Bailey sent a message to Rodney McMullen - Chief Executive Officer of The Kroger Co. email address that said:
I experienced my first instance of racial injustice at a Kroger Location in Alpharetta, GA . My fiancee and I was in the opposite aisle and approached my nephew and my mother who were on the aisle that I needed to be on. I witnessed the manager (Brad) and a older white woman talking to my mom. My daughter was with them and when she seen her father and I approaching her she immediately ran up to me and said Mommy! That woman called us poor black trash! . As you can imagine I was stunned and looked at the manager assuming that he would rectify the situation accordingly. He calmly looked at my family and said You need to stay right here . He then turned to the white woman and said Maam you are free to go . She said You should call Roswell police on them . I stepped in and said YES! You should because I want to make a formal complaint on her for verbally assaulting my mother,child, and nephew. He then said No and I dont want you all following her . Mind you, the woman had already started to walk away. I said Wait a minute! I want the police here now . My fiancee said lets just go. So I said Fine but I want the general managers number and the store number first . As we walked out the manager followed us as if we were the aggressors in the situation. My fiancee said Hey man do not walk up behind me . When we got to the front of the store he yelled out in front of other customers This man just threatened me! I said Well lets call the police he again refused. If we were a problem I believe he shouldve called law enforcement. He didnt call I believe because he was trying to protect a person that clearly has no human decency or values any moral compass. I will not frequent a business that protects individuals that display such behavior in the frozen food aisle or anywhere else. IM EXTREMELY HURT AND UPSET.
