OCMe, You sure don't know too much about the True Walmart. They are up on charges of International law breaking by bribing Gov. Leaders in multible counties. BIGGEST U.S. employer with lowest wages and non-affordable health care. 38 hour workweeks to prevent full time status. Products sold with "Made in U.S.A. labels" but produced in China.

Google: SumOfUS + WalMart at 50 You are an idiot to shop there and a bigger idiot to actually defend that company. Like everything else, it won't be until its too late that people actually pay attention....
Pros and Cons on issues are always prevalent. Employees deserve to be paid a wage commensurate to their value as a consciencious, knowledgeable employee and their contribution to the success of their employer.
