"Hey, you are going to get fired," the customer said. "What's your name?"
"Maria," the worker answered.
"Goodbye, Maria. Buy you a ticket back to Mexico," the customer stated.

At that point, the video stops recording.
"Omg! Never thought I'd experience racism so close," the eyewitness posted on Facebook.
The eyewitness told Houston's KTRK that her 9-year-old daughter was afraid and terrified watching the incident.
She said she had to explain to her daughter what to say and "why these things are happening."
