When the
cops got there, one of them grabbed the guy, and told them, "We need to
see about that forged check you brought in here."

The HR manager is black. The check is good.

It was spent at Target, according to the story.


Some things to remember:

Tampa is headquarters for GAF, or was, last time we did business.

If this event happened during business hours, a simple telephone call by
the appropriate WalMart employee to GAF accounting, would have verified
the validity of the check.

Of course the person placing the telephone call needs to be able to
communicate and understand conversation that has advanced a level or two
beyond Neanderthal.
