That story, in turn, got picked up by the Associated Press and was printed in a shorter version in a few dozen newspapers.

Electronics,Kitchenware,office supplies and some other stuff probably. But I only ever need to buy the above.

As to the employee conditions at Wal-Mart stores, the person to be held to task is the Store Manager, not the employees in general. If the Store Manager doesn’t see that all of the employee’s do their job correctly, then there will always be the ‘workers’ and the lazy ones who are just there to collect a paycheck w/o working for it. As for the rest, those who work at Wal-Mart stores all decide if their pay is correct, their insurance is adequate, and, if they want the JOB. Yes, Wal-Mart does keep track of hours worked. Also, any employee who develops a program while at work will not benefit from it’s being incorporated into the mainstream work. That is the norm for all companies. Most companies require a signature to that effect upon hiring because employee’s can and do come up with better and more efficient ways to do the routine work which helps the bottom line. I created programs while working for companies and my reward was a “thank you” from my bosses clients, not from my boss himself. A gift certificate is really nice.

Bottom line is this: you don’t have to shop at Wal-Mart, you can pay more for the same product at Target, K-Mart or other stores who have the same products and pay their employee’s the same way!
