It isn't WalMart's fault that the people who work their don't have hardly any marketable skills.
If they can get a job with good pay, they would have one.
Nobody said working at WalMart gave you the ability to buy your own home, medical insurance and to have a maid.
More than likely, the common single WalMart employee would live with several people and RENT, could get health insurance but would have to clean their own dishes.
What a stupid website.
First their = there
The smell of pomposity and the stench of arrogance permeates your post.
There, but for the grace of God go I.
I encourage you to ponder the Biblical exhortation of "False pride goeth before a fall.
Assume not that tomorrow might find you in circumtstances worse.
Flame away if you wish, I do not care.
If I'm not mistaken, each and every Wal-Mart employee is perfectly free to quit and start their own company. Nothing - absolutely nothing - stops these people from exercising their own free will, creativity, and hard work to become billionaires like the Walton family.
Did Sam Walton have health insurance and 4 weeks paid vacation?
well, of course, but that is logic speaking. Most people today (and lots here on this site, even) lack that sort of logical thinking by assuming that unless you can afford to rent an apt (all by yourself no less! even if we couldn't when we were starting out), and afford your own car (public transportation is obviously beneath them) AND be able to afford to have whatever recreation they want w/out having to budget, then you're just being abused by the company you work for. Piss on that, I say. When I first started working (before I had any marketable qualifications), I worked for minimum wage also, and I shared apts with other people, had roommates, shared vehicles and walked when I could. Frankly, this is all about people who don't have skills, who are complaining about trying to raise five kids on the income at walmart. Gimme a break. It's all PERSONAL choice! I'm SO sick of the mentality that people are NOT to blame for their situations, but the companies they work for ARE to blame for each persons personal choices. It's digusting and that so many on here get sucked in to this mentality says a LOT. Bash it if you must, but at least do it for a GOOD reason and not one that's propaganda put out by unions!!
