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.
Actually, employees helping employees IS a prime example of private charity.
Hummm...but you had no problem going there when it suited you !
we were without power for a week and the walmart was a two and a half mile walk rather than the 5 mile walk to the grocery story that might not be open. The trip to Walmart was justifiable, but nice try playing the strawman card.
Harrier thought that liberals were abour helping the lirtle guy. Now they call such charity disgusting Whatever.
False Harrier, I think it is good that people are helping others, I think it is bad that Walmart exploits their employees and uses the taxpayers to pick up the tab.

Go to the Christianity threads and read the numerous posts by conservative Bible Thumpers who believe only Christians should be helped. And only if they have a job.
Turns out they don't even believe in private charity.

Don't you feel silly now?
No. Because you have yet to show me how this solves the problem of hunger in the long term.
Oh, wait. You don't care about the long term, right? As long as you get a little feel-good story at Thanksgiving, you're happy that it's all good. To hell with hungry children the rest of the year! You're just sure.
That somewhere, some church or Girl Scout troop or something is solving all the ills of the world!
PS. Do Let me know how admonishing poor women to keep their legs closed also feeds the hungry children we already have. Because I know that's the next talking point in your repertoire.
The headline is inaccurate, as others have pointed out. They asked employees to donate to other employees. The company I work for does this on a regular basis. If someone has a serious disease or other catastrophic problem, they'll sponsor a fundraiser for them.
You have to be either a complete idiot or complete jerk to see this as somehow a negative reflection on the company.

Where's a puking emoticon when you need it.
