” they also offer employment to people who other places will not hire.”
There is that. My first thought when I hear about people who are being treated badly is, “Go find another job.” Then I realize some have no skills that make it easy to move.
In our local Walmart we have employees who’ve been there for 30 years, and are proud of that. (But they aren’t happy.)
Anyhow, I’m glad I’m retired.
The closest Walmart has a bunch of senior citizens working at it. I shoot the breeze with a few of them all the time. They, like our daughter seem to be perfectly happy with their jobs.
