Hey, hey cool down. Read my post nobody is blaming anybody. Just relating what happened. Jeez you guys who jump over anyone who even sneezes at Wal-Mart is sick.
For your information I think Wal-Mart is entitled to pay what they want, they will also get what they pay for. I do not think Wal-Mart is evil or a corporate bad-boy. I do think that if they want loyal productive employees maybe they ought to look at their policies especially with someone with a proven track record.
My son did learn a valuable lesson, bust your ass then be prepared to bend over. I will try to persuade him otherwise, that hard work does pay-off, sometimes, you just have to be sly about it and kiss the bosses ass.
Meanwhile he still gets the 10% discount and we have a lot of shopping to do.
According to the writers of the book I'm currently reading "The Millionaire Next Door", saving and investing money wisely is of utmost importance in creating wealth. People who have relatively modest incomes (under $100,000) but who save and invest wisely, almost always end up with much more wealth than people with much higher incomes but who spend it as quickly as they earn it. Many people do not understand the difference between income and wealth and think it is the same thing. The authors of the book show that it is not. People with modest incomes can become very wealthy with prudent financial choices and discipline.
Sounds like your son just took a deep breath of reality. As we know, life isn't fair. Mine took a deep breath of reality on Monday when he arrived at Parris Island for Marine boot camp. Good luck to your son in his IS job search endeavors.
