VIRAL VIDEO: Find out why JC Penny wants to ban this shopper

A woman was caught on cell phone video going on a tirade against two Hispanic women at a JC Penney store in Louisville, Kentucky.

The witness who posted the video of the angry rant wrote the woman “went off” when one of the Hispanic women walked to the front of the line to add items to her friend’s purchase.

The woman is heard calling them a “nobody” who is “probably on welfare.”

JC Penney issued a statement, saying, “We regret that innocent bystanders were subjected to such discriminatory remarks. We absolutely do not tolerate this behavior in our stores.”

The city’s mayor felt compelled to issue a public apology on behalf of the community and to condemn the woman’s remarks.

JC Penney is working to identify the ranting woman to permanently ban her from their store.

The company also wants to find the two Hispanic customers, so they can reimburse them for their purchase and offer an apology for their experience.
