With crime increasing around the St. Louis area, local businesses can’t be too safe when it comes to protecting their business. This may be what prompted the management of a Family Dollar to request that people entering their store remove their hoods, which could conceal someone’s identity. However, some were quick to claim that the sign was racist.
The sign read, “All Customers: Please remove hoods before entering Family Dollar.” For the objective and unbiased thinker, the reasoning behind the sign makes perfect sense. It ensures that everyone who enters the store is intent on following the rules, knowing that the cameras can get a clear shot of their face, according to The Daily Caller
