Fly-by-Night CC quickly quoth:

Note the guy's not some drone off the manufacturing floor, he's an HR
manager. Those people usually dress pretty business-like; at least they
do in my wife's HR office. They're also pretty well versed in
business-like behavior and have decent educations.

But he was on vacation and may have been less well dressed than he
might have been for work. The reports didn't say and there were no
photos that I saw.


It's certainly difficult to tell what really took place from reading an
article but it certainly sounds as though the guy had the ID, supporting
information and a company history with the practice.

Right, picture ID and a business card with his name on it is usually
good enough for all places except banks. The clerk/mgr really hosed it
this time.


What's criminal in all of this is making him stand around in a Walmart
for 2 hours! See? The slippery-slope of making torture acceptable has
trickled down to Wallyworld.

Hey, since torture isn't legal, what say we export some Hormel plants
to Iraq. Unused space on the processing floor could be used to house
rebels.
