A Wells Fargo bank manager in California was reportedly beaten after his workday ended by a client who refused to wear a face mask as he entered the bank.
The Grover Beach bank manager was attacked by the client in the bank's parking lot on September 3 and was called a racist slur, the San Louis Obispo Tribune reported.
The suspected assailant reportedly came into the bank lobby without a face mask and left shortly after having a dispute with the manager, but returned later and attacked the bank manager.
"The guy went home, he plotted, he laid in wait, he ambushed me. And he called me a 'sp--,'" said the Hispanic manager, who is identified as 'A.' for safety concerns, according to the news outlet. "I'm thinking, 'Gosh, you know, he completely escalated on his own. He didn't like the idea of having to wear a mask.'"

(33,643 posts)Grover Beach (like Pismo) is a pretty laid back community where not much happens. It's a bit less blue than some other coastal areas of CA but all in all I'm pretty sure it leans blue.
My cousin lived on the Grover/Arroyo Grande border for like 30 years (now he's in SLO itself).
Also, MSN, it's San Luis Obispo, not Louis.

With the racial slurs used it could also considered a hate crime.
