And also, Walmart has gotten really bad about using and abusing their employees and giving no benifits. Bless her heart for having to work for them in the first place, it would be hard to keep a positive attitude when you know you're not appreciated and that the owners are rich while you still qualify for food stamps.
Well, to present the other side...... it's true that Wal-Mart is now hiring only part time people and therefore no benefits. But that has to do with the present economy; at least they are hiring! My son worked 20 years in a Wal-Mart automotive department (tire and battery manager) and received a salary and benefits on a scale equal to those I had in academia plus he got profit-sharing and stock options. Both those helped pay tuition when he went back to school and got his degree in 2009. Wal-Mart is no worse than any other big box store organization; you just seem to hear more about it.
