Customers at a Staples store in Pleasant Hill were pissed after seeing a worker’s face painted black as part of a Halloween costume.
Harold Leffall of Benicia was in the store Friday to purchase a cash register for his nonprofit. Looking for the item, he approached a woman for help and saw that her face was covered in black paint.
“She turned around and I was so surprised because of her face,” Leffall told SFGATE. “It was a white lady with blackface, and it really startled me.”
“To be honest I thought I was on some kind of show,” he continued. “I’m like, ‘There must be some cameras.'”
What is your costume supposed to be?” Bland asked the worker on the video.
“I’m a beauty shop customer,” the woman replied, pointing at curlers and a shower cap.
