A shopper who verbally harassed two Hispanic shoppers has been banned for life from a Kentucky mall — and she could also face potential criminal charges.

The encounter, which was recorded Tuesday and shared widely on social media and news outlets, shows a white woman in her 60s or 70s become angry after another shopper adds her items to a companion’s order at the cash register.
