The manager of a Missouri restaurant was fired after he was filmed kicking out a black customer from the premises and telling her to 'get out
' 'I honestly feel like I was discriminated against and racially profiled,' Xzaviera Vaqua, 37, told The Kansas City Star on Friday
Shelly Bloom, co-owner of Tomfooleries of Kansas City, confirmed that the manager, identified only as Preston, had his employment terminated from the eatery
Bloom, however, refused to provide the exact reason why Preston was fired on July 22 to the City Star
The incident, which was uploaded to social media before the start of the weekend and has already garnered more than 100,00 shares, took place on July 19 after Vaqua requested to pay for her bill upfront
As the footage shows, Vaqua tells a person identifying himself as the manager that she doesn't feel 'comfortable' handing over her credit card as she impatiently taps the top of a dinning table with her fingernails

That's when Vaqua asks to speak to the manager before she begins filming. In the five minute clip, Preston the manager informs Vaqua that she must 'secure a tab' before dining
'I can't just pay for my food?' Vaqua inquires. 'You can pay for it after you eat
We don't have to use the credit card but we have to secure the tab,' the manager replies
'I'll pay for my food, cash, up front. I don't feel comfortable with nobody walking around with my card all night,' she replied
'All night?' the manager asks. 'You gonna be here all night?'The manager continues by saying that the restaurant closes at one in the morning, but the bar stays open until 2
30am. 'OK, that's what I asked. What time do you close…' Vaqua says, before Preston fires back, 'You know what, we're done
Go ahead and go.' He then adds 'get out,' and states 'I don't need to explain s--- to you' after Vaqua asks why she's being told to leave the restaurant
'I don't even understand what just happened,' she says after the exchange. After turning off the camera, Vaqua claims that the manager followed her outside to the parking lot and continue harassing her, acting 'super aggressive
' The incident subsequently led to at least 10 protesters demonstrating outside the restaurant on July 21, according to the Star
One of the demonstrators, Catina K. Taylor, called for a boycott of Tomfooleries to send the message that 'allies and black people
will not tolerate this type of behavior from any business in this city.' . The altercation erupted after the supposedly drunk customer 'sarcastically' used a 'typical' Islamic greeting to a number of female Muslim protesters, the Star reported
