Recently, a woman at a Regions bank in Montgomery, AL was subjected to a string of cuss words and racial slurs while trying to use the ATM. Apparently, there was a dispute over who was next in line.
The video was posted on Facebook, and it can be found here (vulgar language warning!). Arnita Robbins, the woman in the video, said that the altercation started because the man wanted to wait in his car instead of standing in line by the machine like everyone else. He got out of his car and then got angry for Robbins using the machine when he thought he was next in line. The original post of the video on Robbins’ Facebook got thousands of views.
Robbins declined to answer when asked for further comments.
Regions spokesman Jeremy King said this about the incident:
“Regions is shocked and appalled by this. We take the safety of our customers very seriously, and we do not tolerate this type of behavior in our branches or on our property.”
“Due to privacy laws, we are limited in what we can share, but in a situation in which a customer verbally abuses another customer or a Regions associate, we close that customer’s account.”
The incident occurred at around 5 pm on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Montgomery police said that they knew about the video, but the incident had not been reported to them.
Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King shared the post to his Facebook page. It has gotten 455,000 views and over 2,500 comments.
They still have not identified the man in the video.

Hopefully, this disgusting man has learned his lesson now. If you want to be a racist a**, you will get outed online!
