I got called the n word today.

I work at a really big dollar store, as myself as the only cashier tonight (like alwayss) I’ve never really ever gotten mean comments before, and if I do I’ll just brush it off. Today just took me aback :(

My dollar store is in a really busy plaza so a lot of teenagers hang out around here. When they come in and very obviously steal drinks and food, I look the other way because SM just doesn’t care.

These very loud group of white & Arab boys come in and start being loud and causing nuisance, a few of them come up to the cash and pay and then one of those goes “what’s up.. n.”

I don’t even use the n word myself and I was really hurt by this :(( I’m 16 and this is my first job and these guys also go to my high school too which upset me more.
