I don't think that this situation has dragged Eckerd's name through the mud. It might spark an interesting debate on morality and religious values in the workforce. I do think that it is controversial that he was fired rather than placed in a position in which his religious beliefs weren't compromised. I actually think that Eckerd's reaction is going to be a big problem for them in the future.
They can find or start a pharmacy that supports their beliefs. I'm sure many of the "Christian" hospitals with in-house pharmacy staff would accomodate their beliefs.
