A woman in Albuquerque was taken aback by the sign she said was in the window of a Shell gas station Saturday.
The sign read, "Leave yesterday ... please (N-word)," with the derogatory term written out.
Maria Meeks told KRQE she went into the gas station to ask employees about the sign. Meeks claims the employee she spoke to laughed and said they posted the sign to discourage a vagrant from hanging out in front of the business.
Meeks contacted Shell's corporate office, KRQE reported. A company spokesperson told KRQE it is investigating the matter and is filing a formal complaint. Shell said the gas stations are independently owned.
