Yes, they were, but here's the rub; I did write them up for the specifics of what they weren't doing.

It got pushed under the rug because the company didn't want to be seen as being prejudiced. They didn't want it to become a race thing, either (I was the only white working the store). So, their transgressions were downplayed, and none of them got fired. Not until two of them started dipping into the cash drawer and got caught on tape (and I almost got fired for that one since I was the one responsible for counting the cash. I'd come up short, and they'd say that I was taking it when I was counting for the bank because proceedure was one person in a locked room at that point. It became person in a locked room with a camera because we didnt have the staff to do two people counts.)

And I've encountered the opposite, and that's with living in areas with a huge racial mix. But the ones that pull it? Pull it big time.
