A viral video spreading across social media reportedly shows a fruit vendor getting harassed by a couple in Canyon Country.
Ed. Note: The following video includes explicit language, viewer discretion is advised.
The couple, who have been identified as Bergie’s Bar And Grill owners Renee McAlonis and Mike Foster, claimed the fruit stand was “illegal” and wanted the vendor to leave the area.
“This isn’t the f***ing ghetto, it needs to go,” Foster said to the fruit vendor in the video.
After confronting the vendor, Foster sits down further pressing to see if the vendor was able to operate.
“Where’s your health permit? Where’s your resale permit? Prove you pay taxes,” Foster said to the vendor.
Foster further repeats, “it needs to go, it needs to go.”
“This is crazy, I’d never thought I would experience this first hand,” the vendor said in the video.
When reached for comment, the vendor of La Palma Fresh Fruit who wished not to be named, felt scared in the moment when the couple started the verbal tirade.
“The lady said we couldn’t sell because we didn’t pay taxes and because we were from Mexico,” said the niece of the vendor who was translating. “We had water to have customers wash their hands, and they(McAlonis) threw it on the ground.”
The vendor said he will not be deterred by this incident and is planning on going back to the same area Monday afternoon — just down the street from the previous location.
In response to the viral video, many have taken to social media and review sites such as Yelp.
The Bergie’s Yelp page has been flooded with negative reviews, prompting the site to have a warning for “unusual activity.”
An attempt for comment from Foster was unanswered as of Monday afternoon.
