REGINA — Giant Tiger says an employee has been suspended after a video circulated on social media showing a man being followed around one of the store’s Regina locations.
The video, which was posted to Facebook on Friday, has been viewed more than 225,000 times and has left commenters accusing the employee of racial profiling.
In it, a man is seen walking around the store gathering groceries and pointing out an employee who he says follows him every time he goes there.
At one point in the four-minute video, the man tells the employee, “there’s more brown people here, you should follow them too.”
