So... in 2019

So this afternoon I called my sister. Her hubby answered and I just assumed she was taking a bath or something. Until he said he was taking her to the hospital because he didn’t know how many sleeping pills she had taken. My question… is she conscious? Yeah she’s throwing up but I’m taking her anyway.
They released her about 4 hours later on the condition that she see a therapist. I knew she was stressed, but I didn’t know it was this bad. We had to take her to the hospital a couple of times when she was a teenager.
I get why she’s stressed. She had an incident at work. Long story short… customer was being rude and my sister asked her not to speak to her that way and chick flew off the handle and they refused her service and then played the race card. Yes we totally refused you service because you’re black and it had nothing to do with you being rude and confrontational. Then the chick’s mother started posting all over Facebook about how her daughter was a victim of racism. So then they had to get security and the mall involved because people stupid enough to believe everything they read online started calling and threatening them and asking them if they were serving black people today. I’ve done my stint in customer service but if anyone ever called the store I worked at and asked me that crap I’d be like “Yeah, but we’re not serving ignorant people who believe everything they read online so better luck next time.” And anyone with any sense who were like “If this were a racism issue it would have come out before now. I’ve been there multiple times and have always been treated well,” people started threatening them too. It was just entirely crazy.
Like there’s absolutely no reason for it. And the owner had just had video cameras installed. The whole interaction lasted less than a minute and it wasn’t until watching the video that my sister realized that she had actually taken a step back from the chick because she was being so threatening.
My parents have even told her to quit her job and they would cover her bills until she found another job. She doesn’t want to do that. She’s been with the company for 10 years. But after tonight I’m pretty sure her mother in law called the owner and gave him hell for the recent stress he’s put my sister under. So I guess we’ll see what happens. I’m just glad she’s ok.
