If they aren't getting the pay and benefits their work deserves, they can go work elsewhere.

One of John's former workers at Walmart opened a restaurant here in town and hired several Walmart employees. She's paying $2 an hour more than they were making at WM and most make tips. She said 80% of the ones she hired from WM quit and went back to WM because they didn't want to actually work

You've got alot of valid points in that post, I must admit. When I re-read this thread, I can see that I swayed back and forth on the issue, really. Which is what will happen when I'm running on no sleep.

Seriously though, as I said in one of my first posts on this, I see both value and harm in WalMart.

When I worked for a bookie, we'd call that a push, Miss Peaches.

And pushes shouldn't be newsworthy
