A couple of weeks ago, I went into Walmart (a task I always dread because it's such a horrid place to spend time on a Saturday afternoon). Seems we always stop there to do our big grocery shopping. When I went up to the check out, I waited in line for 20 minutes and then asked the clerk why they didn't open more registers. She informed me it was because they haven't been able to hire more people to work - she stated, "they are too lazy to work".
The more I learn about Walmart, the more I think maybe people are "too smart to work there". This morning, on the news, they said that Walmart wants a "cheaper" labor force. From everything I understand, they are hardly paying them anything now and are very stingy with benefits - maybe that's why they are lowering their prescription prices - so their employees can afford them.
They want people to work part time, any time of day or night and for peanuts.
Well, as for me, I've made my last visit to Walmart. I can find better places to spend my money.

Woo Hooooo!!! It's about time.. But I am very impressed... Walmart is evil.. Evil, evil, EVIL!! Not that all big box stores aren't seriously flawed, but Walmart is the worst of the bunch, and ceasing to shop there is a step..
