A black woman attempts to use a coupon, but the cashier won’t accept it because she thinks it’s fraudulent. Like Coupon Carl, she won’t try to scan the coupon, and instead gets her manager.

In recent news, a black customer was denied the use of a legitimate coupon at a pharmacy in fear of it being fake. Manager called the police even after the woman assured them it was real. WWYD?

We’ve got two actors, in a café. One asks the other to watch her laptop as she steps outside to use her phone.

Watch what happens:

A customer trips and spills her coffee on a woman's laptop. When the laptop's owner returns, the culprit blames it on someone else. How will people respond when the blame is put on them?
