What did I "make up" in the post of mine you just quoted? I made an approximation of the salary of the manager based on what I know managers make in other retail stores, and as it turns out I wasn't too far off.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

So we're gonna compare the US to other countries, now? You're better than this Mr. Good Kat.

And were you aware that the poster America in this thread said that Black people are trash, jokingly or not?

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

The part about Twitter costing him his job is made up. Its a fabrication at worst and a presumption at best.

Do you think this manager gets fired if the story doesn't circulate on social media?

If this is not covered in the media or on social there is no way the higher-ups even hear about it. I would not doubt that the lady is a grifter using a fake coupon, but if she needs to steal to have adult diapers that's beyond sad. Give her credit for trying and two packs.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Now she is a grifter that stole a fake coupon? Presumption or fabrication depending on one's perspective.

How would you as the ultimate apologist for this sort of thing feel about someone suggesting that the only reason the police were called was because she was black?

All the ones i've been in or noticed have them. I hate self checkouts. I rarely use them and the one located near me sort of encourages its customers to use them.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

She stole a fake coupon? I would say she created a fake coupon. You are just attacking me instead of what I'm saying. I'm certain you would agree if race was not involved. If a white person used a fake coupon, was told it could not be accepted, and then caused a scene and refused to leave she would just be called a douchebag rather than a victim.

If the coupon was not a fake I would change my mind, but I have yet to see evidence of that. And the picture of the coupon looks highly suspicious.

so was the coupon fake or not?

so was the coupon fake or not?

I have no idea. At the same time I do not understand how a store manager gets canned for even being wrong about that. Unless this guys and ANOTHER EMPLYOEE of some level have a prior record of write ups firing for this seems pretty sudden and drastic.

Is there any doubt really that they were fired due to a racially sensitive viral video and that is plainly bad optics?

They were fired because a disgruntled customer started causing a scene, then as management was reacting to the scene she began recording their actions, as though they just began doing those things to her when she presented the coupon for redemption. We don't know, and never will know, what she actually said or did before her camera began rolling.

Dunno, never seen a coupon like that before. The potential problems I see are the smudging of the "CVS" printing, what appear to be ink/toner fingerprints all over the coupon (that may just be the cell phone camera and lighting), and the fact that the it says "CVS Brand" instead of "CVS Health Brand".

Of course, the workers probably received some corporate training on how to spot fake coupons, so maybe they have a few more tricks up their sleeve.

So a customer tries to pawn of a fake $18 coupon. Store refuses. Customer raises a stink and doesn't leave. Manager calls the cops. Manager gets fired.

Do I have this sequence right?

What happens if it turns out to be legit? You do know that management posted a statement which implied that she was discriminated against?

If she was quite comfortable with taking it to management then it is reasonable to assume that it wasn't a fake. She also was quite comfortable with being arrested too.

ltg, it doesnt matter if it turns it was legit. JLN posted what CVS coupon policy is. They reserve to right not to accept it, no questions asked. Now CVS corporate is essentially saying the employees were wrong for following their rules because they terminated them . They are not backing employees following their stated policy and yeah its probably because of the social media backlash.

She also was quite comfortable with being arrested too.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Just want to point out that businesses frequently have legal outs like that "we reserve the right to ____" but they dont actually practice it or train their employees that way.

Oh she was? Just because she said that she was black, gave her name, and would be willing to provide ID does NOT in any way, shape, or form, mean that she was "comfortable" with potentially being arrested.

That coupon does look iffy to me. It looks similar to one of those fake ones you see on Facebook for $85 off a $100 purchase at Target or whatever.
