Bradley, an 11-year veteran of the company, said he was shocked, and so was fellow deliveryman Alex Brooks, who has worked with Bradley for years and was sitting next to him in the delivery truck when the manager called.

“To me, it just ain’t right for a business that we work at to go on with the woman’s wishes,” Brooks told WSET.

Brooks, who is white, told the station he refused to get back in the truck and complete the delivery without his longtime partner.

“It was one of those things like, ‘These guys will get over it,’” Brooks said. “They’re tough guys, they’re delivery guys and that’s kind of where I just had to put my foot down and say I couldn’t do it with them.”

Bradley told WSET that he didn’t expect his employer to accept the customer’s demand.

“I mean, I thought that Lowe’s would take up for me,” he said.

Chris Ahearn, a Lowe’s spokeswoman, told The Washington Post that the manager involved in the incident has been fired and that the company wants its drivers to know that “we back them completely.”

Good, that manager was fired. Good on the white driver for refusing to cave to the racist customer.
