Obviously likely to be settled out of court. What's the over under on what she gets? I'm going with $400K.

BELMAR, N.J. (AP) -- A woman of Korean descent who claims a worker at a CVS in southern New Jersey used a phrase mocking Asians to identify her on a store receipt has filed a federal discrimination suit against the pharmacy chain, according to her lawyer.

Courtesy: Susan Chana Lask via TwitterAttorney Susan Chana Lask said her client, Hyun Lee, was picking up photos Feb. 7 at a CVS in Egg Harbor City when Lee noticed an employee had identified her as "Ching Chong Lee" on the ticket.

Lee said through her attorney that she complained to CVS customer relations and was allegedly told the worker would be "counseled and trained."

"Store counseling cannot correct intolerable discrimination," Lask said in a written statement, adding they were demanding the worker be fired.

CVS Caremark Corp. spokesman Mike DeAngelis said the company does not comment on pending litigation but has a firm non-discrimination policy.

"CVS/pharmacy is committed to treating all of our customers with dignity and respect," he said.

The suit, which Lask said was filed April 16 in federal court in Camden, is seeking $1 million.

Lask planned to hold a news conference to announce the suit on Thursday.

CVS has a good defense but I think there's a chink in their armor.  When you get these cases in front of a jury, the argument always seems to be slanted toward the Plaintiff.  I say she woks off with $250K.

I think I would find (pay off) somebody to come forward with the name Ching Chong Lee and claim a mix up in receipts. 

Or go for broke and ask her how slanted is her

Fuck this stupid shit, and all the damn idiots that push it.  1 million dollars because somebody wrote Ching Chong on your fucking receipt?  This is what's wrong with our fucking country.

Agreed.  But you won't hear the outcome, which will probably be a dismissal on Motion for Summary Judgment.  Or any award being appealed until it's tossed.  And yes, that would be right in this case.
