Are my parents justified?
#1
They hate Walmart. Won't even shop there. Would FREAK if I did.
"They don't give their employees any benefits, and pay them crap."
How much do Walmart employees actually make(pay + benefits)?
Do any other stores treat employees similarly?

I watched a episode of Penn and Teller's Bulls[SIZE="2"]h[/SIZE]it yesterday on WalMart hatred. It's completely stupid. There's nothing wrong with WalMart, it provides jobs, gives alright pay and sells anything and everything at lower prices. Federal Minimum wage just got bumped up to $7.25 an hour (Benefits I do not know), and I'm sure most jobs are WalMart pay more. So no, it's not justified.

I used to work at Wal-mart, and can say there was nothing wrong with the place. Sure, there was a fair share of douchebaggery among the managers and such, but that's it. Nothing unfair as far as wages, or benefits.

WalMart hate really is silly. If you hate WalMart so bad, you really shouldn't eat at any fast food places or anything either, since I'm betting the pay and benefits are just as bad there. The only legit reason I could see to dislike Walmart is that it may or may not take money from local businesses since they can lower their prices so much (yet I'm sure Penn and Teller will tell me otherwise).

One of my HS math teachers was the same way. She HATED Walmart with a passion. She would never go inside one. I think when she actually did it physically pained her. She thought they were disgusting because they mistreat their women employees or something.

Blah blah...she was retarded.

It's impossible to speak for all Walmarts, but the Super Walmart near here does no such thing. My uncle works there, and he's never seen anything shady or unfair like that. They treat him great (even got a promotion recently), and he's a lazy son of a gun. lol Maybe they're too understanding sometimes.

Think this- Target is not any better by any means.
And Small businesses probably can't AFFORD to pay better and small business sure as hell doesn't have all the insurance perks.

Competing with small business are the same things Target and Walgreens do... yet no hate for them. xP
