About your father, sorry to hear that, and sorry to ask this, but was his medical disability BECAUSE of negligence from Wal-Mart? Because 1st, the injury must occur while working for the store, and 2nd, it must be an injury that the store did not have measures to prevent that wasn’t followed. So even injuries that result from the workplace, not all of them the store would be liable.

Like back when I worked my crappy retail job when I was in highschool, the store had tall ladders that rolled on wheels to get things that were up high. You were supposed to lock the ladder down to these legs and off the wheels before you climbed the ladder. But sometimes we are lazy and don’t lock the ladder down, so we can quickly climb up and move the ladder right after. If one of us would have falled because of that, and I’ve come close once because it’s easy to tip over while it’s on its wheels lol, technically, that’s your mistake, not the store’s and it’s almost like you did it on your own time, haha. But true, most stores would grant you disability for that anyhow, but if they choose not to, there’s very little you can do about it from a legal standpoint, because technically you failed to follow your training… At least that’s how I understand it… I could be wrong and it could vary from state to state… Maybe I should read up on OSHA…

And I won’t even bother sending in a complaint letter for any store, why bother complaining about someone getting paid minimum wage, that’s like writing a letter to complain that my burger wasn’t flipped right at McDonalds…

Just stick with online shopping, you’ll save more money that way, lol, and customer service that way doesn’t even exist so you can’t really complain about it, lol.

Target: closed at 9pm
Best Buy: Overpriced and closed at 9pm
local grocery store: closed at 11pm

Oh well, still at work during all of those hours… Can’t believe you shop at Best Buy, what is it, $60 for 1GB of RAM that would cost you $15 online? lol. They BETTER give you good customer service, you’re paying for it!

I have a unique perspective on WalMart because my father started working there PT after he retired. He ended up on a medical disability and they “conveniently” found another reason to let him go after he couldn’t work for 2 months (WITH a doctor’s note!) I also hate the excuse “Oh, it’s retail.” Bullspit. I work retail and, while not the greatest job, I can afford to go on vacation every year, take my girl out to dinner occasionally and pay my bills. I don’t need welfraud or handouts. WalMart doesn’t care about people at all dude. I had a really bad experience there about 6 years ago, sent in a letter with my complaint, and I got a rubber-stamped form letter back in the mail basically saying we’re sorry, but we don’t care. So that is why Target, Best Buy and my local grocery stores get my business instead.

Besides, it’s RETAIL. Please let me know which retail job will give you a good salary and benefits. I used to work retail, it was crap, but it’s not a job you intend to stay in, it’s meant for high school or college students until they can get into their career. If these Wal-Mart employees hate their crappy retail job so much, they should get an education and get a better job. Unlike the misconception that unemployment is bad and higher minimum wage is good, a low minimum wage and an unemployment rate for around 5% are GOOD things for the economy. There actually is a purpose for low paying crappy jobs in our economy.

While they complain about their crappy paying job, the only reason why they can afford to purchase groceries and stuff is because of crappy paying jobs… Either that or they go on welfare and we’re paying for it, lol.

Anyway, I like Wal-Mart, I get out of work at strange ass hours, and the only things open are Wal-Mart or the crappier Walgreens, lol. So you tell me Andy S, what are my choices?

And besides, your argument is against the establishment, yet you made a statement against SHOPPERS of Wal-Mart. What’s your reasoning behind that? You think all shoppers of Wal-Mart are only shopping there because they want to help the “evil” corporation screw over their employees? Or do you see them as “cheap” people who shop at strange hours of the night? Just wondering as a shopper of Wal-Mart…

Sure they don’t feature Apple crap and Starbucks there (thank goodness), but they have car parts and ammunition. What more can you ask for? I got a 20-60x namebrand spotting scope there with an angled eyepiece for $60 where something like that would have cost $100+ EASY somewhere else. But I guess some people spend the extra money to feel “higher class.” If that makes them feel better about themselves, then it’s well worth the money I guess… Keep our economy strong guys, do your part! lol.

Maybe they can do it while sipping on their mochadulcewhatchablahblah latte.

Add me to the list of Wal-Mart haters. Can’t stand the store OR the majority of people that shop there.

BTW, what did you do with all those little critters you unleashed on Manhattan?

Push had its moments. Yes, Wal-Mart does suck when it comes to electronics. Instead of paying a buck, now you can get one for free. Did you enter the contest?

I’ve got my eye on the 99c used dvd bin for Knowing…

I saw Knowing in the theater and liked it a lot.
