Big mistake even talking to the AP.

Worth noting that the CEO, Steve McMillon, started out his career working in a Walmart warehouse

There’s a company in Tulsa that is doing fantastic ... with its workers and with its business! It’s QuikTrip. It’s the best convenience store/gas station I’ve seen anywhere in the USA. They are amazing!

And the workers there are doing fantastic ... as they get $30,000 a year, with the manager of each place getting $70,000! They all get full benefits from the company.

Now they are a true American company and quite the success story!

>>plans to make changes to how workers are scheduled and add training programs for sales staff so that employees can more easily map out their future at the company.<<

Anything in these proposed changes to make their employees more than barely sentient neanderthals?

Worst customer service ever.

“We are trying to create a meritocracy where you can start somewhere and end up just as high as your hard work and your capacity will enable you to go,”

What a concept! Why hasn't anybody thought of this before?

Wages are the last prices to rise in a general inflation. Real price inflation, the prices we actually pay for stuff, has been running probably 7% for several years while wages have not moved or effectively declined because of reduction of hours worked. Perhaps wages are starting to budge.

Another delayed sign of inflation that is finally starting to happen is the major labor strikes. Inflations occasion them as worker's wages buy less and less even as they don't nominally shrink.

I can name the bias in three words, George.

When the old man Sam ran the place it was much better run.

Walmart caves. Give a mouse a cookie, he’ll just want a glass of milk. The workers will be, “hey, it worked...we go $15 an hour...let’s start again and go for twenty!”

The Democrat/Gubbermint/Labor Union Protection Racket has been paid off. Can breathe easy for another year.

Wow that will really irritate the unions.
