This decision to fire the young man is the result of crossbreeding political correctness, nannyism, lack of accountability, and an MBA.
Welcome to our brave new world.

The "manager" who made this decision should immediately be fired and required to take some classes in hard knocks and common sense.

I love this quote:
We asked Oswald if he would do it all over again, he replied, "I will always do the right thing."
If I owned a business I'd offer him a job

If you click on the related story link there is an interview with the man and *breaking news* that Wal-Mart has offered him his job back.
Listen to the clip for the reasoning.

It makes you wonder why they didn't "look into this and reviewed the facts" PRIOR to making a decision to fire him in the first place. Why this rush for punishment/judgment when it seemed pretty clear from the beginning. A real PR bone job of having to back track.

I know that you know common sense ain't so common anymore....

Good for this guy. I like him for not only helping the woman, but taking a min wage job instead of sitting home collecting unemployment. He's not 'above' anything. Him doing the right thing applies here. I hope he can find a better paying job.
