Just some everyday racism in the supermarket checkout line

"Go back to your country."



Another day, another encounter with everyday racism in the U.S.A., caught on camera. This one comes to us from a supermarket in Northern California, where over the weekend, a family encountered a fellow shopper who told them to -- take a wild guess -- "go back to your country," among other racist remarks.

The scene unfolded Sunday at the Lucky supermarket in Daly City, where a Filipino American family got into some kind of altercation with a woman in the checkout line. In an Instagram video posted by user @jennyveladera, you can see the woman behind them going off on her own little racist mutter tirade.

"Licky licky licky." She taunts them with some kind of gibberish, then asks, "You don't want me to talk Philippine?" Then, putting her groceries onto the belt, she says to no one and everyone listening, "Come on. Look at all the groceries they buy. Steal our food, steal our money, our jobs." (By the way, accusing someone of stealing food makes absolutely no sense when they are literally paying for their food right in front of you.)

Jenny, holding the camera, is understandably exasperated, and can only comment, "So racist. Oh my God."

Asian market targeted by vandals in possible hate crime

Yi Shen Market & Restaurant in Eugene, Oregon has been hit seven times in the last six months.



In Oregon, an Asian supermarket has been targeted multiple times by vandals on a monthly basis -- seven times in the last six months, and three times within the last week -- and dammit, the owner has had it.

Local Asian Gem May Be Victim of Target Vandalism

The Yi Shen Market & Restaurant in Eugene has been vandalized seven times since October. Each time, at least one of the store's windows was broken, but nothing was stolen, leading owner Phung Hsieh to suspect these acts might be hate crimes. The most recent incident occurred last Monday.

What did I say about starting your Sriracha stockpile?

Sriracha rationing (Limit: 1 bottle) spotted at Korean market in Glendale



It has begun, hot sauce fans. My friends, the above photo was snapped by Instagram user jewelee208 earlier this week at a Korean market in Glendale. Yes, they're limiting purchases of Sriracha to one bottle per customer. There appear to be plenty of bottles on the shelf, but how long will they last?

Srirachapocalypse: Local Store Is Rationing Rooster Sauce

I trust you've heard about the ongoing Saga of Sriracha. The Huy Fong Foods factory that makes our beloved sweet, spicy goodness was ordered shut down, courtesy of smell complaints from its neighbors in Irwindale. Then shipments of all sauces were halted by the health department, delaying new inventory for a month.

And this is the result. We've got HK Mart limiting Sriracha purchases. I don't know if this is part of a broader trend of retailers rationing their rooster sauce supply, or ifHK Mart is reacting to, like, one outrageous dude who came in last week and loaded up a shopping cart full of bottles. But something is definitely in the wind.

Stay strong, Sriracha fans.

Supermarket employee suspended over YouTube video

Steve Yamamoto just wanted to thank Safeway for shutting down 72 Dominick's stores.



So you're an employee at a supermarket that's closing down for good. You and your co-workers will soon be out of a job. Might as well make the most of it and have some fun. That's what one Chicago-area supermarket worker did, making a funny, explosion-filled video clip starring himself and his co-workers getting caught in the chaos of a doomed Dominick's store. For his efforts, he got suspended. On his last day on the job.

Suburban Dominick's Employee Suspended On Last Day For Satirical YouTube Clip

Steve Yamamoto, a former employee at the closing Dominick's store in Glen Ellyn, made a funny, sarcastic video to commemorate the shutdown of 72 stores, leaving an estimated 6,000 workers without a job. The video, addressed to parent company Safeway, features dinosaurs, robots, gunfire and hauntingly empty shelves, in the epic, explosive end of a Dominick's store:
