This just isn't fair. Especially to those greeters at the door. They work so hard to put a smile on your face.

I cannot believe this! That's terrible!

"Just in time for the holiday shopping season, we're rolling back the hourly wages of workers in every department."

It wouldn't surprise me for a second if this was a real article.

Wal-Mart blows Tender Chunks.

Their policy is in violation of the 14th Amendment.

I never did. I love the onion. I also like to be sarcastic to see if people will take me seriously or not.

When I worked at Walmart

I made $7.24 an hour that's bad enough as it is.

Whenever I walk into a Walmart - which is rare - I see in the eyes of the employees the early to late stages of the planning of a mass suicide. I wonder if there are any comparitive stats on how many Walmart emplyees (past and recently present) have done themselves in, relative to the general public. I would sooner live under a bridge with a bottle of Ripple than work at Walmart.

Walmart employees eat their young.

Seriously, it is one of the worst companies you could work for. My father worked for K-mart corporation a few years ago, and we just kept on hearing about all the misery Walmart put upon all its employees. Just so sad. Don't ever take a job there. They'll demand your firstborn child.

I used to work there to and know first-hand experience. There is a manager who's supposed to be a "woman of God" for a church near my hometown but she has like a Dr Jeckell & Mr. Hyde personality. Walmart is under Hitler and Napoleanic rules there. The managers are well taken care of while the employees are layed out to dry.

my friend's dad manages a Super Walmart....yeah, as far as I know the managers do pretty well.
