This isn't racial outrage
This lawyer + "I'm an upstanding member of the community"

She might as well be wearing a leopard print and rock a Jennifer Anniston haircut.

Like I said they want to see how the store deals with it before they shop there again.

If it was an employee, and they find out who it was, they will fire him. There is no other possibility. There is zero chance that he would be allowed to stay. So why do we need to "see how they deal with it"?

If it was a customer, they will never find him. So again, why do we need to "see how they deal with it"? What could Wal-Mart possibly do?

So, you don't think a business should be responsible for who it hires?

How is a company with probably 500,000 workers going to ensure that it never hires anyone who likes to play practical jokes?

You can be sure that they will fire him. I have seen worse where the person was transfered. And more then once.

They have cameras so they should be able to get an idea on who it was. If it was a customer there isn't much they can do but say it was a customer. If thewy seen the person again they could ban them but other then that they can't do to much.

That being said it is still their choice to wait to see how they handle it. If they are not happy with it they don't have to shop there. Simple as that.

I guess I don't understand the HYPER sensitivity....it's like people go out in public just WAITING for something to be offended by....waiting for something to vent their pent up outrage against.

I mean, seriously....some clown makes an ass of themselves over the intercom in a Wal Mart and that is cause enough for everyone in the store to get all up their own ass about it?

Why?!

I could see the outrage if the person walked up to black person in the store and said "Hey...you must leave the store"....but this? This just seems like a tempest in a tea cup to me. *shrug*
