RIVERDALE, Utah - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. apologized to a Muslim woman who said she was mocked because of her face veil.
"Please don't stick me up," a cashier told the shopper on Feb. 2, according to The Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Wal-Mart apologized Monday in a letter signed by Rolando Rodriquez, a vice president and regional general manager. It was released Tuesday by the council's Nevada chapter.
"I can assure you that the associate in question was disciplined in accordance with our employment policies as a result of the situation," Rodriguez said without disclosing details.
Rodriguez said employees at the Riverdale store would undergo "sensitivity training," specifically in the Islamic faith and Muslim culture.
At Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., spokesman Phillip Keene confirmed the letter and declined further comment.
"We applaud Wal-Mart for taking appropriate action to resolve this incident," said Yasser Moten, executive director of the council's Nevada chapter. The group doesn't have an office in Utah.
Bro’
Funny!
Gee, how fiendish of the cashier.
BTW, do the employers of Islamic terrorists apologize for the behavior of their employees?
“Welcome to Wal-Mart. Lingerie and swimwear, aisle 4.”
should have said: “don’t blow me up.”
LOL
This typifies the kind of so-called “Islamophobia” in the US - an occasional off-colored joke or remark in a Wal-Mart that gets HUGE press and denunciation, and shows our “intolerance”. Meanwhile, across the Islamic world, how many uncounted religiously-inspired honor killings, stonings, beheadings, hangings, and calls for actual violence against non-believers occurred that same day?
Everything I ever needed to know, I learned on 9-11.
You and I yes, but not a lot of people, hence the “sensitivity training” they call for.
Sharia law in the US begins. Have you ever seen a full burka’d female(?) in your day to day business in the good ole USA? You know, if anyone had any criminal intent that would be the ideal cover to hide ANYTHING under there.
Only criminals wear masks in this country!!!!!
Being a muslim ain’t a race so you’re way off. And screw them all anyway - if they want to live like muslims, let them go back to Turdistan.
