Costco worker allegedly called her racist names in Spanish. She turned around and confronted him in the language he thought she didn’t speak

TikTok creator Kenya shared a video of her confrontation with a Costco employee that began after she accused the worker of speaking about her in Spanish, apparently assuming she wouldn’t understand him. According to the shopper, the remarks included telling another woman that she “looked Indian,” a claim the employee denied on camera.

The roughly 40-second clip appears to pick up after the initial exchange had already happened, so it doesn’t capture what was said before recording started. What it does capture is the customer confronting him directly. “You were just talking about me in Spanish, not knowing that I speak Spanish. You told the other girl that I look Indian,” she says. His response is immediate: “No. On my mother’s life.”
