Tense images were taken care of the moment Aldi -Staff confronted a shopper after being accused of 'flagrant racism' and bursting with a mother, her son and a cashier.
Priya and her 11-year-old boy shopping on March 9 in the supermarket in Ingle Farm, in the northeast of Adelaide.
The couple brought their groceries to the cash register and waited patiently while the cashier scored their articles.
Priya claimed that the man had been in line behind them when he suddenly became frustrated and the groceries began to hit the conveyor belt.
“I asked him what he was doing … it escalated a bit from there,” she told Yahoo.
“He said we were what was wrong with this” effing “country. The checker was clearly not white … My son has a dark complexion with dark hair … It was disgusting. '
Priya filmed the subsequent eruption on her phone with images with an Aldi employee who ordered the man to leave.
“You are always nice to me, and you are rude to her,” she said pointing to the cash register.

'You are rude against everyone who doesn't look like me here. Stop it. Grow up. “
The man finally listened to the staff and left the store after he paid for his items, but Priya said the incident really shook her son.
Priya said that nor she, her son nor the employee behind the counter were white and that their skin color soon became a target for the man's attacks.
“I was just shocked … We left and I hugged my son,” she said.
“He was upset all weekend because of him, it was his first real time confronted with racism … It was devastating.”
She added that the incident was not the first time that something like that had happened to her in public.
Priya uploaded the video to Tiktok, where many users of social media condemned their behavior in the same way.
“If more people were getting up to racism, the racist would not feel so comfortable to spit their hatred,” wrote a woman.
A second added: “Casual racism in this country is wild.”
“This is outrageous! I hope Aldi forbids him, “said another.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Aldi for comment.
