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.
A mask is a kill sign....friendlies dont hide their identity...
Glad to oblige
Anything short of a gang rape and stoning? Bah, where's their Sharia spirit?
If I went thru her checkout I would be sure to have ham available.
HAH! Muslims have no sense of humor.
I’m at the edge of my seat! So, did she stick her up????
No sense of Humor.
It was a dumb joke.
Ice breaker if you will.
Muslim woman way to serious.
Muslim woman needs to worry about the rough things in life and lighten up.
What’s an Evie?
Your comment almost made me choke on a nacho chip. : )
Not to mention if a mere cartoon is made, an entire COUNTRY gets threatened (Denmark) or how about the Teddy Bear named Muhammad? The woman was to get what 30 lashes?
These idiots SUE because they have to remove these stupid veils for the driver’s license photos!
France is already making them remove them in public for safety reasons, as there are several incidences of males dressing as women not to mention these kook jobs are blowing up pregnant and mentally reatarded women!
Hopefully our country will follow suit...it’s a Dept of Homeland Security issue!
SHAME on Wal-Mart, maybe we should side with the kooky moonbats and call for a ban? LOL
