Welcome to Walmart!

May I interest you in some Chinese products?

(Just practising for the inevitable)

1. If you're that *lucky*

If the Neo-cons have their way, we will all be so desperate that there will be hundreds of applicants for 1 job at Walmart - one that requires FT hours for PT pay (a practice they already do)

As Chris Rock said it "I beleive in minimum wage...that way they have to pay us! If they didn't have that they'd get away with paying us in SPAM and toilet paper!"

2. As Jerry Seinfeld said:

Minimum wage is an employer's way of saying, "We'd pay you less if we could."

3. The training has paid off.

Looks like you went to the state-mandated post-layoff job retraining.

If we can't stop the hemorrhage of good-paying jobs overseas, there won't even be enough people that can afford the chinese crap at Walmart.

6. I'm almost there

not too much longer now...

4. CNBC had a great expose on a recent WSJ article critical of WalMart

premiums 3X higher than avg company charges their employees. 1/2 of their employees don't yet qualify for insurance since they have to wait six months to enter the program. much more juicy details that i can't recall.

5. I have never once been greeted at a Walmart

I have coughed
I have made eye contact (one guy just looked at me as I walked by him)
I have been with "regulars" who know the greetors
I have been with people who claimed to have never NOT been greeted.

I'm an average looking white boy too, what's up with THAT?
