so don’t shop at CVS ever again. Tacky clerk, she should be fired.

Well I wouldn't necessarily blame CVS. Back in the 1990's I worked at Radioshack and we had some kid do the same thing. He already had another job lined up so he decided to "go out with a bang" and started filling out all the receipts with insults and racial/sexual slurs, (luckily the system DID have a filter so he couldn't put in obvious slurs like the "N" word, but he did manage to put "Pickin Cotton" on a black man's receipt and "Big Mama" on a rather large ladies receipt. Sure enough, their were MANY complaints and he was quickly terminated, thankfully with some apologizing and generous store credit, that was the end of it (luckily that was long before Facebook and Twitter).

“Honestly I’m just horrified about this whole thing,” Lee told reporters, including CBS 2′s Steve Langford. “It just brought back all the memories of growing up as a minority.”

So you make a national story over it and now millions of people across the internet are making "Ching Chong" jokes at your expense?!?

You know that thought never occurred to me. An employee taking revenge against a boss. Don’t get me wrong I know it goes on, it is just that until you said this I never put 2 and 2 together.

Places where I worked people did stuff like empty the drawers and turn them upside down then put the stuff back in them. Kinda stuff you see DiNozzo and David doing on NCIS.
