I did not read the whole article, but hey John! You stock food on a shelf. I am so sorry you don't have a Porsche in the garage. Call Howard Dean and the ACLU. I am sure at least one of your rights is being violated.
Harsh, very harsh...
You are absolutely correct! He is 27 years old doing the work of a 17 year old, for a 17 year old's wages. If the pay for stocking groceries at Wal-Mart is so bad, why doesn't he just go across town and stock shelves at the local Kroger? What the article didn't say was how long this individual had been at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart pays a very competitive wage. Locally, Wal-Mart has a starting salary of TWICE the minimum wage. Consequently, this has forced up salaries at the local fast food places. It has also forced the local fast food franchises to offer health benefits. I am not a Wal-Mart cheerleader, but I could go on and on about how Wal-Mart has helped the local economy.
