I can name three people off the top of my head who loved working at WalMart.

Three happy people out of a few hundred thousand isn't exactly a majority.

You can't say that every single person aside from those three hated it. I'm just saying that it's not THAT bad. I'm sure there are worse places to work. Send these people to a sweat shop and see how much they whine about WalMart then.

Of course there are always worse places, but that doesn't mean Wal-Mart isn't a evil corporate giant with nothing but dollar signs in its eyes.

So people want to make money. That's how things are in the real world. Everything is not sugar coated and people don't just do things out of the goodness of their hearts.

Target, Costco, Fresh and Easy, etc. make loads of cash without being evil jackasses.

Never heard of Costco or Fresh and Easy. Hmmm...

The amount of money can't be considered since Wal Mart is currently larger than the afformentioned companies, but I do recall that their profit margins are substantially larger than Wal Mart's.

WalMart is huge. They have better things to worry about than making everyone happy.

If that's the case, than I should so sue McDonalds for doing that to me.
And Food Depot for doing that to me.

WAL MART> ALWAYS LOW WAGES, ALWAYS! I have always followed Wal Mart and their corruption of labor laws...a couple of years ago, in Canada, there was a bomb scare and the management decided that the employees must go in and search for any bomb. This is despicable...but what is more despicable are the employees who allow it....ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! Poeple ought to understand Frances Perkins and her journey...
