Last night on "Without A Trace" the missing person worked at fictional Mega-store called EveryMart. The wages were so low that the lowly employees had to clean houses, be drug runners or sleep with the boss to support themselves and their families. And the only place they could live was in run-down, drug infested rent by the week motels. The heroine of the story became a drug runner to avoid the hearing aid her little boy needed. In real life, that young mother would probably have been provided the need hearing aid through one of WalMarts special programs.
I live in Nevada, near Carson City. There is very little unemployment in the area, what with all the businesses fleeing California's high taxes and mindless regulations. Plus there are lots of employment opportunities in in Casinos and hotels. A new Walmart is being opened on the north end of Carson City. And some of my neighbors are eager to quit their present jobs (hotel desk clerk, teacher aide) to work at Walmart. If the conditions at WalMart were poor, the employees at WalMarts around here would vote with their feet and could easily find work somewhere else.
Yeah, those Bruckheimer shows lover making their political statements. I can barely handle "Without a Trace".
Wall Mart hasd a very high turnover rate of employees, the reason why people work at WMT is because often they can not get work elsewhere, and employee morale is genally rock bottom, hence, the reason why for the increaseingly bad customer service experience one has at these stores.
You've got that right. I've been shopping in the same Walmart for about 2 1/2 years now........and most of the faces of the employees remain the same. There are rarely any openings, and when there are the applicants out number the positions something like 10 to 1 because they are one of the better paying employers in this area. And they also promote from within the ranks, which is why the faces remain familiar.
I'm sure that like any other major retail chain, there are some managers of some stores that leave a great deal to be desired, but apparently those are the exceptions rather than the rule.
