From the NY Daily News article:

His assistant said the actor, whose credits include “The Crying Game” and “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai,” was on the set and unavailable to discuss the incident.

According to Plante, the 51-year-old Whitaker opted not to call the cops about the allegation — in part because the worker was afraid of getting fired.

“Forest asked that, in the future, the store change their behavior and treat the public in a fair and just manner,” she said.

I seriously doubt I’d have been able to handle the situation with that much grace.

Mr. Whitaker acted like the bigger person. Good for him. If he was a conservative, he would have played the victim card for weeks, months, etc.

They have another deli right up the street from me. I walk by now. I’m just not comfortable there anymore.

For one thing, I’ve done exactly what he did on a number of occasions— walked in, either found they didn’t have what I wanted or decided the price was too high, line too long, or that I didn’t need it after all, and walked out again. There is nothing suspicious in that behavior.

It’s a good thing for the store AND the employee that Forrest Whittaker is a class act. If I understand correctly (IANAL), he’d have grounds for civil and criminal action for that little incident.
