    Perhaps the originator would find it helpful to provide some of the local 
TV stations with this situation.  They quite often compete with each other for 
interesting tidbits such as these.  I think Meijer's should provide this person
with a written apology and a $300.00 gift certificate, no expiration date.  The
+employees should be provided with sensitivity training and perhaps a 
transendental meditiation course, to help with the necessary social 
enlightenment needed for a job as a security person.  Perhaps a visit to a 
lawyer would not be a bad idea either.  If the case appears sound and likely to 
win, many lawyers will not ask for a retainer.  Do keep us posted.  This should 
not be happening in our society in 1993.
