But they work all year round and only make minumum wage for showing up all year round. They don't get paid for every holiday, sick day or get too much vacation. In fact I think they work some holidays....and have to work 8 hours a day...

AND, the thing that no one understands is that some WalMart workers are task assigned.
So if you have 200 boxes of shoes to put up in a day and choose to socialize 2 hours of that day, you will have to give up lunch or stay over.

They got their lunch, they chose not to eat.

I think, you forgot the obligatory "/sarcasm" after your remark.

HUH?

I've been working for Walmart for the last seven years and I never have been denied my lunch.

Further more we get payed for 6 Holidays a year.

We get paid vacation and sick days.I am happy working there,otherwise I wouldn't be there any more.

Those lawsuits are ridiculous if you ask me.

If you opt out of taking your lunch it's your own darn fault and has nothing to do with Walmart.

For the last 3 years or so the register and computers won't let you work past 4 hours and you have to take your lunch.

If you ask me it's a get rich scam.
