Sure, and the law generally refrains from punitive damages where the employer has acted appropriately. As in this case: firing, apologizing, and comping the meal.

Wow. A bigot by association, even though they took the appropriate (and only rightful) action of immediately firing the employee. You paint with too broad a brush.

My father had burn scars over all of his face and skull, and he developed a thick skin; however, scaring children tore his heart out.

Ashamed that I, someone seemingly knowledgeable and caring firmly about justice and equality, would be ignorant of this. Guilty that I haven't done enough to be fully informed.
