Call me snooty all you want. I just feel like with all the billions Walmart and stores like them rake in each year in profit, they could afford to pay their employees a bit more. And I don't work there anymore. Haven't in almost 20 years. Worst company I ever worked for and from what I hear of people who work there now, very little has changed.
I am a mortgage processor and did a loan for a friend who has worked for Walmart since the late 1980's. As for 2009 she made a whopping $10.25 an hour despite all those years. She hated it too but with a 9th grade education did not see very much else in the way of job oppurtunity here in Florida. I find that to be a crying shame that someone can for work a company that long and have so very little to show for it. YMMV.
A loss prevention officer position should most certainly pay more than a cashier or stocker as the potential savings to the company is huge.

You can make a comfortable living on $10.25 an hour, depending on your expenses and location.
There's your answer. She only had a 9th grade education. Why would anyone hire her in the first place? Most jobs nowadays, even at McDonald's, require a HS diploma if you are 18 or over. You are paid what you are worth.
That's not my point though. My point is how can someone work for a place for almost 20 years and have so little to show for it when that company rakes in so much money and they have been such a loyal employee? I agree she is limited due to her education. I advised her to get a GED and get the hell out of there but she feels she is stuck. It's pretty sad imo.
Not even a 'nice try!' Your absurd comment (above) is patently and Blatantly FALSE!
Grandpa Released from Jail After Black Friday Brawl (http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/business/black-friday-brawl-at-buckeye-walmart-11252011 - broken link)
Quote from article: ''The Buckeye police chief said the officer’s actions were justified and that the cell phone video of the fight showed only the very end of it. They said the Walmart's surveillance cameras did not capture the beginning of the fight. Police said when the officer asked Jerald Newman about the video game he put in his waistband, he began flailing his arms. "As the officer put handcuffs on the suspect, he resisted arrest, flailing his arms and pulling away from the officer backing up," said Buckeye Police Asst. Chief Larry Hall. A leg sweep was used on Newman, who hit his head when he fell and began bleeding, police said.''
You just lost all credibiltiy with this post.
Flailing his arms, resisted arrest, pulling away from officer; one listens to what the police say, or else if you RESIST ARREST, you will be treated thusly. (looks like he has a lot of experience with the police?) The guy is guilty on so many counts, NOT THE POLICE, whoever they are. Would love to see this 'grandpa's' rap sheet. LOL

If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing.

I am not sure I agree with comfortable but I do think one can survive on that. But when a 20 year employee is making less than $3.00 an hour more than someone who just started last week I find that pretty sad.
I stand corrected, which is why I don't always go jumping over stuff I read on the internet. My b.s. detector was going off because in states I know of, you actually have to exit the store. Apparently, though, AZ's law is different, so it sucks for the bloodied nose guy. With some luck, he can be the subject of an internet meme.
Under your theory, you can put on 3 layers in the dressing room, and they can't arrest you until you walk out the store - that can't be right.

Do you think people like your client only work for companies like Walmart? It is what it is. If you lack the training and/or education, you are limited in earning potential. You cannot blame that on the companies who employ these people.

Most all companies have wage caps based on the job description.
This is just a lame thread with a misleading title that was written by someone who has an obvious dislike for law enforcement and the establishment in general.
Most of the people chiming in here havent even taken the time to read the pages in this thread. God, I just love the fly by's.
We obviously don't have a clear picture of the entirety of the situation when it unfolded. Was a mistake made by the security? It is very possible. Did they over do it? Maybe.
Judging by all the F-bombs dropped by the fine folks recording the event and the madness that was obviously occuring at the time, there is more to this story than the OP wants you to believe as you comment on this "atrocity". He or she is just playing on emotion.
