I wonder what percentage of those people at the two stores in Lousiana last month who were raping the food card freebie that Wal-Mart was so gracious to provide during the outage voted for Obama.

You're all acting like these are slave workers making no money.
This is the US folks.
Walmart, just like Target, Kohl's and Macy's is doing nothing wrong and are following all the laws.
Not to worry, people! The cons on this forum, who universally adore and defend WalMart, also assure us regularly that private charity can solve all the world's social problems.
End of thread.
Here's a incidence that will show that private charity will probably work just like it's supposed to.

This is off-topic, to say the least.
However, don't worry. Your precious walmart didn't lose any money; they will be reimbursed by the feds (in other words, us).
And it's not like those other retail stores are paying super great wages to employees. Face it, retail sucks. A cashier is a minimum wage job.
However, if someone has drive and ambition, they can rise up through the ranks and make an outstanding salary. Walmart is one of the few companies where a non-educated person could become a store manager and make over 100K. Their truck drivers make six figures as well.
Amen, 90,000 promotions annually-2/3 to non degreed staff. Try finding that ratio elsewhere, let along the quantity.
Again, it is always much easier to blame the one being exploited than it is the one doing the exploiting.
And yet you guys are missing the 3rd party in the equation while playing your politically charged class warfare games.
If you want to blame someone, then blame the average american citizen that shops at walmart. If people really gave a sh*t that these people are making minimum wage then they'd not shop there but in fact, they like the cheap prices.
I'd personally love to buy you a beer and sit at a table with my cousins that work jobs like teacher, prison guard, nurses aide etc. that walmart workers in their town should make a living wage (which would be getting up towards what they make).
Have you even been in a walmart lately? If not, do so. I suspect the experience will be eye-opening. There is a reason they aren't working literally across the street at Costco making $20/hr with health benefits etc.
It is a good move by this one Walmart to make it a more known issue with how little they are paying their own employees that they need help from others to put food on their tables. Too much money from our country goes to help feeding Walmart workers and other low wage companies like them.
Actually I see it more as a result of unskilled workers choosing to have large families they clearly can't support. There are well paying jobs in Walmart, however you need skills in order to get those jobs.
At our Walmart they are collecting for the Salvation Army. customers are buying full bags of food and putting them a huge box.
