Ya know thats kinda sad. We pay a crappy wage, so lets donate help our fellow employees. Merry Christmas!!

Bullshit. You don't know what you're talking about. Wal Mart pays a very competitive wage for retail work. They have a decent benefits package and a great upward mobility program for their associates.

Sorry but you are not correct. Walmart does not pay competitive wages and they do not have a decent benefits package for the majority of their store employees.

There are a lot of Walmart employees who rely on food stamps and state assistance for medical benefits...all on state tax payers dime.

There are many communities where Walmart is the only store in town...so some people are ‘forced’ to shop/work at those locales. BUT there are other communities where Walmart is just one of many stores. It’s THOSE stores that I don’t understand why people buy that cheap Chinese (or other countries) crappola.

IMO, Walmart’s business model depends on attracting lower income shoppers who need low cost products....and they’ve done their part w/ keeping their own workers salaries low (low hourly rates and limited hours per week).

Yes...yes....Walmart’s entitled to make a profit. Just don’t feed me the line they pay their people a competitive wage. They don’t.
