@clint - I have been in the service industry for the last 13 years, both in retail in grocery stores, and in call centers talking to people from all over the country (a few countries, actually - I worked with American customers for 6 years in one call center, and now with UK customers for the last three years in my current job). I know what customers are like. I am also a customer.
Also, I sense that this lawsuit is not a way for the customer to make money - given the sheer amount being asked for, I sense that this is a way to light a fire under the company's arse and make it very widely known that racism will not be tolerated in any form!!!
Also, you're straddling the fence there with the whole: You're right. You don't know that person. Now, you're straddling the fence and giving both answers in an attempt to backtrack because you know no one else here is in agreement with you about this supposedly not being racism.
Racism in any form should not be tolerated, and I guarantee that putting "Miss Lee" or "Ms. Lee" or "Mrs. Lee" is a damn sight easier and faster to write than the racial epithet that was three times as long to write - that was pure malice. Or stupidity. Or both. But not in any way an innocent mistake.

I think if I take this any further it would become a rather pointless flame war, and I like you guys too much for that.
Ninja'd: Lily & Buch posted after this -
Not saying it was not racist. Saying it was possibly not done with malicious intent. As I've said from the beginning. As far as I can tell, my position throughout this brief debate has not changed.

I'm gonna add (again) that I doubt anyone actually expects a million dollar payday here. Common law is not gonna support a damage reward that high if the facts of the case do not warrant it. I feel now as before that this was closer to being a last resort in an ongoing dispute over how a store is handling a bad employee and the whole story is rarely in print.

I'm gonna ask (again) that anything further be taken to PM.
This is the last time I will politely ask and let's move publicly at least to the next topic.

Oh sorry. I thought the previous mention was for direct discussion with you personally. I did not mean to ignore you as moderator.
Body in mortuary van - Now that guy needs to be fired.

Linders to be fair, you did continue it after the PM request too. You were the first.

Linders to be fair, you did continue it after the PM request too. You were the first. I made the mistake of publicly responding to a post Clint made also in public after I made the request. I publicly regret that but that post was made public and needed a public response.

We did. And it needs to stop, in public or we can -may god help me- open up a racism topic and get back to what this topic is. Stupid people doing stupid things.

Just separating this business that started in Musings so we can get back on topic there. Frankly I think we all had enough of that for today but here is it's very on place.
