From what I know, they found out who it was, but never fired that individual. They just waited for everything to die down, and business resumed as usual. That's typically what happens in there types of situations.

Also, I think based on the rep's attitude alone on the Joyner show, there is more to the story. I still don't understand why he wasn't more apologetic. He was VERY nasty when he was on there. He certainly was quick to pass the buck however. A little too quick. Like I said, he was counting on the notion that people don't know the layout of the store.

As someone else stated, that whole innocent till proven guilty. And some things are done behind closed doors and are NOT your business. If I fire one of my employees and a customer asks about it, I am not allowed to say "Yeah we fired her". It's the same if someone calls for a reference for a future employee. You are legally not allowed to say "yes this person was a horrible employee do not hire them".

I kinda think Bush looks like a monkey...


If this does blow up, and B&N takes a hit, I wonder if there will be any claim to defamation.

And he has had monkey photos devoted to him. The difference is there's no history of monkey references for white people. So how some "jokes" are received is based on the messenger and the historical significance of the message.

This will only blow up if people are in a desperate search for a "cause."

As isolated as this instance is, I would be extremely shocked if this blows up.
