‘He did nothing to you. And what did you say to my son, to my 14-year-old son?’ she asks the man.
‘I’m sure he’s heard it before,’ the employee responded.
‘What did you say again?’ the mother asks a second time. The employee then admits to saying ‘f**k you’ to the teenager.
The mother is heard asking to speak with a manager and walks over to the store’s register.
According to the teen’s mom, her son walked into the store and the employee told him to take off his MAGA hat. ‘My son said nothing to him and did nothing,’ the woman is heard explaining to the manager.
The employee was subsequently fired from the store, according to The Daily Caller.
A spokeswoman for Vans told the Caller that the company’s ‘focus is to provide the best customer service experience’.
‘We did let this employee go. He is no longer with our company,’ the spokeswoman said, adding that the man’s actions were ‘in contrast with our values and beliefs’.
