Greetings...
If it wasn't for a few news stories that surface on a daily basis, I
would run out of things to write about when the occasional "brain fart=
"
hits...
This story is one of those stories that leaves some people shaking
their heads and understandably, many more outraged...
Last Sunday, in a southern New Jersey Wal-Mart, shoppers heard an
announcement that shocked and appalled them. The message that came over=
the public PA system was a message that asked, "all black people" to =
leave
the store...
Black customers, as well as non-black customers left their carts wherever=
they were and left the store, not because of the "order", but because=
they
were rightfully disgusted by the message...
Some customers claimed it was at least five minutes before store manageme=
nt
came on the PA system. In their defense, I'm sure they were as shocked as=
everyone else and basically "freaked out" before addressing the custo=
mers...

Wal-Mart stated they were apppalled by the incident and the Gloucester =
County Prosecutor's Office and the Washington Township Police Department =
are investigating the incident as a possible bias crime. The store's
surveillance tapes have been looked at, staff members have been interview=
ed.
Without elaborating, the police claim to have a few leads...
Some of the public-address phones are password protected, but some are
=
avaliable for customers to use. These phones are restricted for now...
=
It will be interesting to see if they find the guy who did this and more=
interesting what happens after that. Why? Well...If it is an employee
that did it, then Wal-Mart would be technically responsible, but if it
=
turns out that it was a prankster that did it, I don't think Wal-Mart
should be held responsible, because let's face it, someone is looking
to sue someone in this sue-crazy society...
If the person is caught, I guess he can be charged with a bias crime,
which is obviously less serious than a hate crime. It may seem silly,
it may seem like a stupid prank, but it's still illegal to make jokes
in an airport about hijacking, terrorists, etc. It is also illegal to
scream "fire" in a public place filled with people. Will this dipstic=
k
get jail time for what he did? Highly doubtful and since we don't even
=
know how old the guy is, he could get a slap on the wrist once the
media frenzy over it dies down. They said it was a "man's voice" over=
the PA. SOme 13-year-olds have a man's voice and heck, some women do
too!

I guess my point in all of this is that there are times when you aren't=
responsible for someone else's bad behavior and a lawsuit for whatever
=
amount of money won't take the disgusting incident away...
The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office is offering counseling through =
their victim and witness unit. Please, someone answer this for me, Is thi=
s
really necessary?
Sometimes, although in very bad taste, a prank is just that, a prank...=
Many years ago, while working and managing a salon in a department store,=
a PA came over the loudspeaker announcing, "For the next 30 minutes, al=
l
haircuts are 50% off with Jamie"...
Imagine my surprise when people started coming in left and right asking=
for me even though I had never seen them before in my life. I was
clueless and when each one stated they had heard the PA for 50% off, I
=
really was baffled because any promotions for the salon were done by
me. I didn't hear the PA because you tune out all of them after hearing=
them for a long time. I honored the special pricing of course and actuall=
y
got quite a few regulars from that point, but I was still puzzled...
UNTIL...
I heard a sound in the distance that no matter how I tried, I could
not tune out, for years in fact...
MY KID!!! That little !@#$%^&, who was 16 at the time, pi=
cked up one
of the customer phones and did his little announcement!!!
Granted, it's nothing like what happened at Wal-Mart, but it was a prank,=
a stupid one that is pretty funny today. I got back at him, I gave him
=
a half price haircut...I cut half of it...poorly...
How would I punish him if he pulled the Wal-Mart stunt?
I'd put him in the middle of the store, do a PA over the loudspeaker
that could be heard outside and announce...
Would all black people come INTO the store...
:-)
Have a great weekend everyone!
