This is why I have lost faith in humanity.

I think a large percentage of the big retail chains are like that, unfortunately.

Anyway, I don't even shop there I just hate people getting all the information they have on something from documentaries that are slanted thanks to human nature. You can believe them, hang on ever word that comes out of Michael Moore-on's mouth, or be a Bill ORly fan... they all have an agenda.

Freak, you're next in line for the package, Maggie's postponed her turn, PM me your addy pal.

Well I haven't seen any of the documentaries on Walmart, I've worked there, I have 5 family members, and a handful of friends working there, I know how they work. My mother who has worked there for almost 20 years, hates the company, but because she doesn't have a highschool education (My older sisters fault on the account of her being born), she's afraid that she can't really find a job anywhere else. Especially not one that will start her off at what she's making now, which really isn't that much at all for having worked there for so long. So for the most part I'm speaking from experience.

Hey, how ya doin'?

Meh. At the end of the day I like shopping there, and as I doubt I'll ever work at one, unless it comes to England, while I'm in America, it's always nice. There's a particular one in Kissimmee that I've grown fond of.

I know it's easy to hate corporations because they're big, rich and faceless, but I don't think it's entirely fair. Walmart thrives because they're good at what they do. Of course they are self-interested, I would not expect a company to be anything else. But people shop there because they want to; they can get good prices there. And believe me: there are little "mom and pop" stores that treat their employees at least as bad as you say the local Walmart does.

Please forgive me for being blunt here Psycom: if your mom doesn't have a high school education, would she be able to get a job anywhere else? Working at Walmart isn't that bad if the alternative is unemployment.

Well I'm sure that she would, but she seriously doubts it. Mainly because the job market is shit in our area, and because she doesn't have her diploma.
