Note the guy's not some drone off the manufacturing floor, he's an HR

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.


Are you yankin' my chain, Larry-w/o-C? Just in case you're not and you
were out the day Evelyn Wood covered comprehension...
It wasn't he who was on vacation, it was the white lady who normally
picked up the gift cards who was sunning in Barbados:

"The company, which had $1.6 billion in revenue last year, had been
spending about $50,000 a year on Wal-Mart gift cards and never had a
problem when it sent another employee -- a white, female administrator
who according to The St. Petersburg Times was on vacation that day -- to
pick them up."
