In This America...

A North Carolina woman, Rita Cantrell, has been awarded $3.1 million from the department store chain Target, after employees refused to take her $100 bill.  The cashiers not only refused the bill, they emailed her photo to local businesses pegging her as a counterfeiter.

Cantrell's attorney, Bozzie Boggs, says that the store got off lightly. "Every aspect of Rita's life has been harmed by Target" says Bozzie. "Where can she buy back her good name? We looked, and you can't buy it at Target."

Sounds a bit overlawyered to me. How long can businesses survive jackpot kooky awards like this? $1,000 would have been sufficient.

Only in this America....
