Forget the smiley face, Walmart. I came across a
news report that I was really shocked by. The title of the article was "Attention, Walmart customers: All black people, leave the store now". Apparently, a New Jersey Walmart customers were interrupted by this obscene statement made on Sunday night. Someone announced it over the intercom, letting everyone in the store hear. I thought this was totally out of line and there was no reason for doing it. Whoever did this was unnacceptable and has to realize that other people do have feelings and shouldn't be treated that way. Also, we have to question the security at these stores, it's not everyday that someone takes over the intercom and does this.
What would you do if you were in Walmart and heard this? What does this say about our
country?

Although this incident was unfortunate, we can't let one bad event reflect the quality of an entire store chain. Wal-Mart overall is a very good quality, reasonably priced store, and just like at any store, bad things will occur. This incident does not reflect the service at every Wal-Mart, and I'm sure that if the head of the corporation found out about this event, he/she would be very disappointed.
