Oh my gosh, so silly. My son works for Walmart while going through college. It is a menial job. He understands that. You go into work, do what you are told, and get a paycheck. He gets quarterly bonuses. This year it will be close to $1200 extra he has made in bonuses. For shoving product on a shelf. Seriously.

He gets 10% off general merchandise year round, and during the holidays, he gets 10% off groceries also. This year, as an addition, employees get 20% off one shopping trip. And his insurance is less than mine, full coverage.

These horror stories about how Walmart treats employees are bogus. Society needs to keep in mind that this is a minimum wage job for a reason (and he makes much more than minimum wage), it requires no appreciable skills.

My wife who is as Assistant Manager at Wal-Mart says it is only a 10% discount off one shopping trip. Now that 10% off is on top of the 10% off which an employee already normally gets which adds up to the 20% off. And the extra percentage is only available two days, Dec. 6th and 7th. Still not bad if you plan your shopping around those two days.
