    “Please don’t stick me up,” a cashier told the shopper on Feb. 2, according to The Council on American-Islamic Relations.

    Wal-Mart apologized Monday in a letter signed by Rolando Rodriquez, a vice president and regional general manager. It was released Tuesday by the council’s Nevada chapter.

    “I can assure you that the associate in question was disciplined in accordance with our employment policies as a result of the situation,” Rodriguez said without disclosing details.

    Rodriguez said employees at the Riverdale store would undergo “sensitivity training,” specifically in the Islamic faith and Muslim culture.

    Nice story. They should not mock or discriminate against Muslims, black or Jews. Fine. Now what we need is the Council on American-Islamic Relations to undergo sensitivity training.

    Supporting terror is not being sensitive to Americans. You hurt our feelings when you stick up for every terror organization under the sun. CAIR representing Muslims, gives them all a bad name.
