A shopper outside a Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. reported a modest four percent rise in quarterly profits on Tuesday as the world's biggest retailer appeared to weather an abrupt slowdown in US economic growth.
(AFP/File)"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.
At Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., spokesman Phillip Keene confirmed the letter and declined further comment.
"We applaud Wal-Mart for taking appropriate action to resolve this incident," said Yasser Moten, executive director of the council's Nevada chapter. The group doesn't have an office in Utah.
Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel laureate economist, speaks at La Defense during the World Business Districts Summit. Stiglitz declared himself "almost certain" Thursday that the next US president, whoever it turns out to be, will get tough on climate change.
(AFP/Pierre Verdy)"I don't want to be over confident, but I'm almost certain that the new president will come (through) on this issue," Stiglitz told a conference in Paris.
"All three of them are very committed to do something and it's a major change in the environmental landscape," he said, referring to White House hopefuls Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
Stiglitz, a 64-year-old winner of the Nobel economics prize in 2001 and a professor at Columbia University in New York, said he would be backing a Democrat, although he acknowledged climate change was also a big issue for McCain, the Republican Party's likely nominee.
"I'm going to support a Democrat candidate: the policies of the two candidates are not different, there are differences between their personalities but despite intense debates, in many ways they are very close," he said.
"McCain is very concerned too. He was on this issue when it was not a major issue," he added.
Stiglitz, known for his outspokenness and criticism of globalization, is also a former chief economist at the World Bank who resigned in 1999 after accusing rich countries of not doing enough to help the poor.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Former Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney endorsed erstwhile rival John McCain on Thursday and urged Republicans to unite behind him in a gesture that could help McCain with disgruntled conservatives.
In the Democratic race, Sen. Hillary Clinton scored a much-needed victory in New Mexico and accused surging opponent Barack Obama of lacking substance and experience as she fought for political traction in Ohio after a string of losses.
After a rough campaign battle between them to be the party's nominee in November's election, Romney offered conciliatory words to McCain a week after dropping out of the race, calling him an American hero.
"Even when the contest was close and our disagreements were debated, the caliber of the man was apparent," Romney said with McCain at his side. "This is a man capable of leading our country at a dangerous hour."
