Clapping back against haters, trolls, and critics is something Zendaya has boldly done once or twice!

Here’s an example of a time Zendaya stood up for herself and her beliefs in a big way.

Zendaya clapped back at Vons for employing a seemingly racist employee.

Back in 2016, Zendaya dealt with an unfortunate incident at a Vons grocery store.

According to her, she felt she was being discriminated against based on her skin color.

Zendaya, who was 20 years old at the time, walked into the store with a friend to buy $400 worth of gift cards.

For some bizarre reason, the clerk confused to complete the transaction.

The clerk allegedly hit back at Zendaya saying she didn’t think Zendaya could afford the total purchase. 

According to Billboard, the clerk tossed Zendaya‘s wallet back at her. Talk about rude!

Zendaya posted a Snapchat video breaking down the scenario, saying, “That lady that was helping us, I don’t think she was a huge fan of our skin tone.”

She went on to say, “It was $400! Long story short, there’s so much progress to be done in our world.”

A representative from Vons put out a statement with People Magazine, apologizing for the ordeal. They said they were sorry “for any inconvenience or misunderstanding.”

It’s unclear if the clerk who treated Zendaya so poorly faced any repercussions for her bad behavior.
