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.
It’s only a matter of time before a robber does get the bright idea of disguising himself/herself as a burka slave. Loot in hand, the burka goes in the first handy clump of bushes and nobody has any idea what the robber looks like.
Shouldn’t it have been “Please don’t behead me”?
If they want Muslim business, they can have it. They won't get mine. And when I'm done talking to a hundred neighbors, I'm sure I'll convince a lot of them to my view.
Rudy is that you?
Pandering to these villains will only encourage them.
They don’t belong in our country.
Mohammed was a nut. A real psycho. And a child molester too.
No wonder his followers are such losers.
Good tagline! LOL!
A black lady friend of mine lives in a mixed neighborhood. She reports that many stores have closed because the muslim ladies shoplift like crazy, stashing tons of stuff under their robes.
That is what infidels exist on this earth for, the Koran tells them to take advantage of the Christian world. It is not a sin for them to steal, or lie if it is to a non Muslim.
