In response to the demoralizing food donation bins placed in some stores to help out its underpaid employees, Walmart workers have chained a massive donation bin in front of the luxury Manhattan apartment of heiress Alice Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton.
Last year, a Walmart store in Canton, Ohio placed donation bins inside an employee break room, which read: “Please donate food items here so Associates in need can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.” Employees snapped photos of the bins and shared them on social media to the outrage of many on the Internet.
Despite the outcry, a store in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma recently placed similar donation bins there and workers in Indiana are reporting that managers are organizing bake sales and encouraging workers to support their colleagues with food donations, causing a flare-up on the Internet.
The bin that was chained in front of Walton’s $25 million Park Avenue condo reads: “Walmart Owner Alice Walton: We don’t want charity. We want decent pay. Love, Walmart Workers.”

Just two blocks from the Plaza ($945/night), the Pierre ($950/night), and the Sherry Netherland ($949/night) hotels and Central Park.
The best I've ever stayed at was the Regency, one block north, a long time ago!
Lucky her.
I wonder how many other condos and homes she owns.
(well, it rhymes and it's true!) 
Perfecto!
I am NOT a smart man! 
Like the entire street has a park down the center, originally it was a ditch with train tracks coming into Grand Central.
Later they covered them up and boom, Park Avenue!
I have never been to NYC and have no clue which roads are where!
Thank goodness DU does not give a test to join. I'd flunk.
You need to understand, this is a viral marketing strategy by the employees. It doesn't matter if she is or is not there...the world will know that it was chained to the extremely wealthy dwellings of one of the owners. The message gets out and that is far more important then her knowing about it or not...and you can be assured she knows about it by now. 
"but those employees have enough money to buy that big bin! Maybe they should just manage their money better."
If there is a hell there will be a special circle reserved for the Waltons and the Kochs. 
Made my day!!!
