Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart has again found itself facing some bad publicity.

 

According to authorities, at least two people were jabbed with syringes found in clothing at a Wal-Mart store in Cartersville, Georgia.

 

A shopper, of the Cartersville community, was stuck by a syringe while looking at a package of bras. All she wanted to do was check the size when her finger was pricked.

 

The store's manager advised her to go to the Medical Center where she was tested for AIDS and hepatitis

 

According to the shopper, Wal-Mart is not willing to pay for preventive treatment to prevent HIV, which cost $1,300, unless they discover that it was an employee’s doing.  

 

Wal-Mart needs to step up and do the right thing. Even if it was not one of Wal-Mart’s employees and was a random person who placed the syringe there or someone from the packing company, the incident still occurred in the Wal-Mart store. I feel it is their responsibility to take the blame, apologize and move forward. Which is not only the right thing to do morally, but also the right thing to do if Wal-Mart wants to get through the incident without further tarnishing the brand’s reputation.
