Wild moment Aldi staff confront shopper after he is accused of despicable act at the checkout

Tense footage captured the moment Aldi staff confronted a shopper after he was accused of blatant racism and erupting at a mother, her son and a cashier.

Priya and her 11-year-old boy were shopping at the supermarket at Ingle Farm, in Adelaides north-east, on March 9.

The pair took their groceries to the checkout and waited patiently as the cashier scanned their items.

Priya claimed the man had been in the queue behind them when he suddenly became frustrated and began to punch the groceries on the conveyor belt.

I asked him what he was doing... it kind of escalated from there, she told Yahoo.

He said we were whats wrong with this "effing" country. The checker was obviously not white... my son has a dark complexion with dark hair... it was disgusting.

Priya filmed the ensuing outburst on her phone with footage showing an Aldi staff member ordering the man to leave.

Youre always nice to me, and youre rude to her, she said pointing towards the checkout worker.

Youre rude to everyone else here who doesnt look like me. Stop it. Grow up.

The man eventually listened to staff and left the store after paying for his items, but Priya said the incident really shook up her son. 

Priya said neither her, her son nor the employee behind the counter were white and that their skin colour quickly became a target for the mans 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 facing racism... it was devastating.

She added the incident was not the first time something like this had happened to her in public.

Priya uploaded the video to TikTok where many social media users similarly condemned his behaviour. 

If more people stood up to racism, then the racist wouldnt feel so comfortable spewing their hate, one woman wrote. 

A second added: The casual racism in this country is WILD.

This is outrageous! I hope ALDI bans him, another said.
