It's called fighting for what's right. You wouldn't understand. You work for Walmart, who's done more to run businesses out of business and run manufacturing out of the country. Walmart has successfully depressed wages and benefits, all so people can buy cheap crap. And they don't understand why they have low customer approval ratings.

It kills me how they think American truckers cant wait to get into the mexican trucking market, I would rather truck in Iraq at least there you have armed escort.

Those crooked cops will be salivating for American drivers. You think lumpers are bad? Wait until you deal with Mexican cops. And no, the Mexican cops don't take com checks.

No I understand perfectly, it's just that I'm educated enough to see it for what it is, ignorance and political bullshit.

Low customer approval ratings? You wouldn't know it by the amount of people we have packed in there every day.

I have news for you, don't blame Wal-Mart for wanting cheaper items. If you want somebody to blame, blame all your neighbors and yourself. We only provided what the market wanted.

As for low wages, the store I worked at has one of the highest starting payrates of any employer in town. Even the local manufacturing plants don't pay as well. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

What is the starting pay? $8.00 an hour? Benefits? Insurance?

I know some of the answers. When I was in EMS in Vegas, I transported quite a few Walmart employees from the stores they worked in. They had nothing but BAD to say about pay, benefits, etc. They said Walmart provides terrible health benefits that will cost you an arm and a leg if you used it, as the co-pays and deductables were too high.

I for one never "asked" for low priced junk that falls apart quickly. My family shops at other stores who are just as competitive, such as Target, Best Buy, etc. The employees are friendlier, paid better and have better quality merchandise. Walmart store are dirty, cluttered and full of junk that doesn't last.

I have found that the majority of people who have work related accidents at our store are idiots who wouldn't be happy anywhere and think they're entitled to $10 for walking around picking their nose.

I have news for you, if you looked into it, you'd find that the merchandise you buy at Target and Best Buy are probably made at the same plants. The Best Buy store brand electronics, Insignia are made in China. As are Tru-Tech products, the Target store brand electronics lineup. It's only in your head that your paying more = higher quality. It's all psychological.

FWIW, I know plenty of people who worked for Target and Best Buy who wouldn't recommend them as an employer to their worst enemy.
