Now on TV. "Fair Wage Warriors" have stormed a Cook County Walmart, blocking all checkout lines while demanding a "fair wage." No police present; Cook County Board members backing the protestors.

Are many of the protesters Amish?

I wonder if firing the workers and closing the store would send the correct message, or just embolden the Communists.

Walmart began in small towns. Isn’t it grand to be in that toddling town?

Hillary Clinton was on the board of directors for Wal-Mart, was she not?

I’m guessing displaced Swedes.

After waiting in the checkout when a protected class is the cashier, I wouldn’t give them $2/hr.

That will not make them popular with the customers.

These protesters should be in jail. If Cook county police don’t remove these disruptors and charge them with trespassing, Walmart should hire their own security to forcibly remove them.

I think Walmart should further lower their prices to really piss off these communists.

Maybe this retaliation for the TARGET boycott. Walmart is picking up their former customers.
