She didn't just "point out" an idiot. She posted the receipt with his name on Reddit, and ended up inciting an internet mob against him: http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/17i382/my_mistake_s...

I agree the guy was a jerk, but it should be common sense for any employee that they can't expect to keep their job after revealing private customer information, publicly humiliating that customer, and in this case very likely damaging that customer's career. Duh?

I don't think that changes the situation, though.

(Incidentally, I'm apparently not the only one who got that detail wrong, since the original post on Reddit was titled "My mistake sir...")
