Wal-Mart holds Food Drive-

for its own employees. When the managers were asked why they just didn't pay a living wage so that the store wasn't begging for food for its employees, the managers said something along the lines that asking others to help feed others generated a "feel-good" atmosphere of giving during this time of year.
Christ-Almighty. I am NEVER going to set foot in another Wal-mart.

They DO want to eliminate the non-working poor! This is just so scary.

All those Temp employees working to prepare the store for opening participate in something like a Money Dance with store management

....this is the same store that recently filed charges against an employee who stole a roll or Oreos because she had no food at home.

Good tidings to all!!!
