Here's a link to the story on CNN.... http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/25/wal...urance.battle/

BOYCOTT WAL-MART!

I am Roboto · 03-29-2008, 09:07 AM

I saw this on FOXNEWS the other day. Wal-Mart is within its legal rights but I personally think they should have let it be and am surprised they didn't - just from a PR perspective you'd think it'd be a small price to pay. Truly is a sad story.

OH Nuts! · 03-29-2008, 09:35 AM

Disgusted absolutely disgusting. What a horrible store. And this nonsense that they couldn't make an exception. What horses**t. Hope people picket Walmart. That clause shouldn't be there or should be capped to a sm. % like 10-20%.

*yawn* I wouldn't expect anything more from Wal-Mart.

waichingliu81 · 03-29-2008, 11:38 AM

considering how big they are, i am probably not that surprised that they have done this. just goes to show that they are more interested in earning more money than they do of its customers and its people.

hope more people would boycott wal-mart and stop going to its stores

The company made 90 BILLION dollars last quarter (according to the article) and they're suing these poor people?

What a greedy company.

Very sad.

InspectorExstead · 03-29-2008, 02:10 PM

I agree with what you said. From a PR standpoint it would be the right thing to do but if they do it for one emplyee then they would have to do it for all. Too bad they didn't know about the clause in the medical insurance staement. Maybe they could have gotten the reward worded where it was given to her husband so that Walmart couldn't have gotten any of it.

Oh goody. Now we can add another reason to hate our favorite retailer, as we continue to stock up on cheap garbage that will fall apart in a few months. But, oh, the savings!

junecleaver · 03-29-2008, 03:12 PM

Absolutely horrible. Just one of the thousands of reasons to stop shopping there. Wal-fart is just a greedy ass "business" trying to outnumber everything (pretty soon, we will have Wal-Mart hospitals and Wal-Mart everything) and to this day my shopping is done at Target (i respect them more because they actually PAY their employees, and if i have to pay extra to benefit their employees, i am glad to) and other stores. I'm glad to see there are others who despise the chain. Maybe one day everyone will stop shopping there and the store will only be a thing of the past.

LOL! Wal-Mart Hospital. "Save money, live through the night, but if you get a settlement, you'll pay dearly!"

I prefer Target and K-MART! How can we forget big blue! I don't care how lousy they seem to be, anythings better than Wal-Mart! Sheesh, Flea Market even!
