I work at Wal-Mart and I'm starting to suspect that my supervisor(a eastern european) is a racist.
There's been two incidents that made me believe that he's a racist.
1- A few weeks ago, he wanted me to drop off boxes at a certain area in the store near the grocery area.
I wasn't too sure at which exact area, so he told me to drop it off near the "bananas".
That in itself doesn't sound too suspect, it did raise my white supremacy antenna, but it wasn't that suspect, but then the second incident happened a few nights ago
2 - As we were getting ready to finish up our shift, he asked me in which area I wanted to do stocking.
I wasn't too sure, so I started thinking and then he asked if I wanted to stock the bananas. He then looked at my co-worker (who I'll be using as a witness when talking to my manager) and then started laughing.
Now if you know anything about my position, you'll know that we dont work nowwhere NEAR the grocery area.
All we stock is Pets, Paper Goods and Chemicals.
So now I'm convinced that he's a racist. What also made me suspicious of him is in which the manner he talks to me.
Many racists will take on a condescending, patronizing, disposition when talking to a Black person, and he always talks to me like that.
Allot of times he'll even treat me like I'm a little pet of his or something. Not in a blatant disrespectful manner, but in a childlike, condescending manner.
Do any of yall have any suggestions on what to do, or what to expect when talking about this situation to my manager.
Now this situation isn't hazardous to my work experience or anything.
Like, he doesn't harrass me or anything. But I just want to make sure that he doesn't get away with what he said. I want him to be punished for it.
