Teen Worker Pays For Cop's Cookie, Gets Called Racist By Family In Line For Not Paying For Their Cookies Too

Zachary Randolph, 18, was suspended from his job at a Great American Cookies mall after he bought a police officer a brownie out of his own wages on Sunday.

The teen from Katy, Texas, said upper management put him on temporary leave for a week because another family complained that he didn't buy their cookies as well.

Randolph said the customers in line who overheard the interaction became upset and threatened to beat him up because he was racist and promised to get him fired.

The incident gained national attention after Randolph's mother Tami Kurtz Randolph posted about what happened in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
