8. I don't know about this, but at the WalMart I worked at
Edited on Sat Feb-24-07 12:06 AM by provis99
they took over the local Woolco branches, fired all the Woolco employees because they made $2/hr more than what Walmart would pay its hourly workers ($4.15/hr in my hometown), and proceeded to humiliate its new staff with the managers telling them they were here to stay at Walmart because no one else would hire them. They forced us to do a ridiculous childish Walmart cheer every morning, and told us how glad we should be that the Walmart corportation was making tons of money. I told my boss that the pathetic cheer was inappropriate for adults trying just to earn a living, so I was fired on the spot.
Thanks for making me realize what a truly rotten corporation you are, Walmart.

Have managed to avoid buying anything at Walmart for the past 12 years as a result.
