Walmart Asks Employees to Donate Food to Help Starving Coworkers

You know way back in my day at one time, I actually could afford more on less!

 

like the wal-mart employees who are donating ?

 

Have you ever looked in the container they use for donations?? I have they have maybe 2 items in them.. Most of the time there is just garbage in them.

 

Show me a walmart person who is not able to feed him/herself...

 

I am not sure what you mean Eighty Deuce. I can only pay the price that Walmart asks for the item. I mean I suppose I could tip the workers but is that what you are talking about? Or are you talking about going somewhere else to buy my items?

That said, if you are talking about somewhere else to buy my items, I generally don't do that because I personally find going to Walmart to be quite convenient. So, what I was saying in my previous post is that I would prefer that Walmart pay their employees a just wage rather than the miserable one they receive and then simply raise prices on items to make up for any difference.

 

Gosh, if only Ohio had a Republican Governor....he could fix it.

 

is this your first trip around the planet too ? Thousands of businesses around the country do the very same thing every year at this time.
People give what they can to help others who may have fallen on hard times, for example, injuries, sickness, death of spouse, homes destroyed by fire, various personal tragedies, etc.
I can't believe you need this explained to you.

 

BTW, witness the future...

if rightwing ideology ever were to win in this country. ALL business would be "Wal-mart"(figuratively...maybe even literally)....and ALL of us would be treated as Walmart employees are.

This incident...is but a taste of the "Conservative Utopia".

 

I am confused. Why do you think that right wing ideology would result in everyone being low wage workers?

 

ALL of our futures....if rightwing ideology were ever to take over in this country.

 

Why raise prices higher? How much in profits did wally world make just last year?

 

I don't need it explained to me. What I am saying is they don't get much from the employees because they are all having hard times..

 

what's that, people helping others who may have fallen on hard times ? Imagine that ?
I know this idea is foreign to you, as you'd expect others to do the actual helping on your behalf.

 

Jamie Dimon isn't. His bank gets tens of billions of dollars in free money every month from the government.

 

Don't know how creditable this is, but its crazy.

That's just crazy. I am as far right as it gets. You can believe is smaller government and people taking care of themselves if you give them the tools to do so.. Like livable wages.

One out of millions. What are you talking about.

 

Actually, "conservative Utopia" is more like Texas.. while liberal " livable wages" Utopia is more like Detroit...

Oh, Barack says hi

 

Yet we're 5 years in the summer of recovery right?

 

the finance sector isn't suffering. The economy is doing great, or didn't you get the memo ?

a whoring corporatist politician told him so

 

Yep, it would be really bad if the USA would be more like texas than Detroit... After all, Detroit is AWESOME!!!!




We cannot stop now, we are inching our way to liberal utopia... otherwise known as Detroit:

 

Hey, he expanded the Medicaid there. That should make you happy.

 

Yes, we DO have quite a recovery from the Republican losses of 800,000 jobs per month. Thank you, Obama!

What is particularly odd is that our "job creators" STILL have the lowest tax rates in 50 years, the most MASSIVE profits, ENORMOUS amounts of cash, ENORMOUS amounts of wealth socked away in the Cayman Islands, etc., yet seem to be unable to create GOOD jobs in the USA!

Yet what do Republicans propose? Getting rid of MINIMUM WAGE and UNIONS! Wages are already so low people earning those wages need food donations, while Walmart continues record profits!

Exactly HOW is getting rid of the things that barely keep wages at a miserable level going to "make things better"??? Its nothing but the perennial Republican lie of the "trickle down" from the billionaires is going to make us ALL rich on the resulting yellow snow!

 

What ever happened to companies giving turkeys for Thanksgiving to their employees? My last employer gave 20.00 gift cards for Thanksgiving and a 200.00 Christmas bonus. This company was one business not a Large corporation like Walmart.

 

This thread already exist ....

 

so we can stop giving $85 billion per month to the finance industry ?
