You appear to be defending the employees who may not be completely trained in their jobs. I don't take your remarks to be a defense of Wallmart at all.

Actually it's defending employees and acknowledging Wal-mart's utter disregard for said employees. I know some kids who had jobs there back when I lived in a town that had two Wal-Marts. The paperwork will make an older, experienced person pull their hair out. Since these particular stores were perpetually short handed, I can imagine the employees pencil whipping the forms, so they don't get written up. This ends up screwing the consumer who has to spend more money to get hunting rifles and ammo at a price he/she can afford.

The 2 Wal-Marts I've worked for in the past were also very reluctant to fire employees who deserve it. I remember an employee in the same dept. as me getting angry at a customer, throwing an object at him (it was a soft dog toy), and then calling the guy's girlfriend a b!tch. That was several years ago. Last time I went to Wal-Mart the man still worked there.
