A Houston-area woman says a grocery store cashier wouldn't check her out because of her shirt, which said "Police Lives Matter" and "All Lives Matter."

The woman, who gave her name only as Meredith, told KTRK-TV that she was shopping at a Kroger in Spring on Oct. 2 when the cashier, a teenage girl, stepped away from the checkout line and spoke to a co-worker.

"She was stating that the shirt I had on was basically a slap in the face to her and she was doing everything she could not to cry," Meredith said.

"She made me feel ashamed to have the shirt on, and I don't appreciate that," she said.

Another cashier rang up Meredith's groceries. She said the original cashier never spoke to her.

Meredith, who said her husband is a police officer, told KTRK that she complained to Kroger multiple times but has not heard back. Kroger said it was still investigating the incident and couldn't comment.

Meredith told KTRK that she wants people in the service industry to know that every customer deserves to be served, regardless of what their shirts might say. She said she didn't want the cashier she encountered to lose her job over the incident.
