NEW YORK — LVMH’s Sephora beauty chain said it will close all its U.S. stores, distribution centers and corporate offices on Wednesday to conduct diversity training for employees, a move that follows a racial incident involving a Grammy-nominated singer.

SZA said a Sephora employee she identified as “Sandy” called security to make sure the singer was not stealing from the store. “We had a long talk. U have a blessed day Sandy,” SZA said in a Twitter post. “You are a part of the Sephora family, and we are committed to ensuring every member of our community feels welcome and included at our stores,” Sephora said at the time in a response to the singer’s post.

After SZA’s tweet following the incident, Google reviews for the Calabasas store spiked, with many users criticizing Sephora over the incident.

Ontario PCs To End Province’s Deal With The Beer StoreOntario PCs to end province’s deal with The Beer Store Goodness only knows how much this is going to cost us. I think Ford and his MPP's should pay the legal costs out of their own pockets not using a dime of taxpayers money. What a waste. PremierFathead is going to bankrupt the province forcing it to defend his asinine, juvenile policy decisions. Did he think he could 'bully' global corporate breweries the way he bullied kids in high school? This man is beneath contempt. This will be Ford’s biggest blunder to date. It will cost the province billions

Ford defends decision to end Beer Store contract'Test me out, find out if I'm bluffing or not,' the Premier said. “the Beer Store, the retail arm predominantly owned by three big brewers, Labatt, Molson and Sleeman”. How this has gone on for so long blows my mind. Ford likes spending $1B of our money just to break Beer Store contract. It’s our money, our taxes at stake here! For beer? Really? There’s no rationale to his thinking! Couche-Tards' Macs & Circle K are no doubt probably making isle/fridge space as I tweet
