Wal-Mart makes billions, and I mean BILLIONS every year... Yet they can't bring themselves to pay a woman as much as a man? Please... I hate you Wal-Mart.
You know thier slogan, don't you?
"Always low quality. Always Wal-Mart"

Shows how much you know about me, huh?
Signature by rubah. I think.
I didn't want a labor job, I wanted a job that I could enjoy. I had a hell of a lot more fun bagging groceries at albertsons.
Plus what really bugged me was you couldn't even leave the parking lot on your lunch break. You get an hour lunch and you can only eat from the 2 fast foot places in the complex. I think that was because it was non union, but I dunno. Albertsons let me go wherever the hell I wanted for lunch, and so does my current job. They treat you like an adult, and give you respect. Unlike walmart, they treat you like a kid who isn't allowed to cross the street.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
I'm starting to see a lot of case to case Wal-Mart issues here. I was allowed to cross the street and the only real difference I saw in pay was between the cashiers and the floor employees.

Wal-Mart sucks and here is why.
They don't have the lowest prices around.
They sell cheap(manufaturing wise) stuff and no quality items.
They always have a God awful electroics section.
Their employees per section don't know anything about their section(at least all the ones I have been to...probably around 10 or 12).
Everyone there looks disgruntled and pissed off.
Those are my reasons why I hate Wal-mart. The only thing I buy there is Gatoraid becasue it is insanely cheap. Everything else I can always find a better price someplace else. Best Buy, Sportsmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, Jewel-Osco(Albersons), Sears, Marshalls and other places. They all have better quality and are cheaper from what I have experienced.
Target is HORRIBLE. They have ugly clothes and the majority of the people who work there (or at least at the registers) can't do math for their life. One day I stood at the cash register for at least 10 minutes cause this lady couldn't count change.
Call me a total extremist but ...
War on Walmart !!!!!
:chop: ( beheads Walmart executive )
Oh god... Allow me to reinforce this statement with a story.Their employees per section don't know anything about their section(at least all the ones I have been to...probably around 10 or 12).
A few years ago my family was going on vacation, and we wanted some blank cd's to burn music with. So we go to walmart and ask the guy in the electronics department for help deciding what to buy. We had some blank cd's in our hand and asked if they were a good deal, but luckily he was there to give us the BEST deal possible. So he had us put those down and buy cheaper blank cd's. After that we got home and we realized that we did not have blank cd's, but instead we had purchased purple CD cases.
You get what you pay for. If you're paying next to nothing, you should expect sucky merchandise and sucky customer service. There is no incentive to try to do a good job when you work there; you don't get paid well enough to care. People know the service sucks at WalMart, and they still shop there all the time, so why should anyone who works there care either?
My parents bought a DVD player from WalMart. It was generic as heck, and extremely cheap. They opened the box and plugged it in. It didn't work. They weren't surprised, they took it back and got another one from the same store, and it worked. It'll almost certainly be broken in a month or two. I try to explain that when you buy crap that breaks after a very short time and you have to buy more crap to replace it, you end up paying more than if you'd bought something with quality to begin with, but I don't think they get it. I don't think many people get it, because WalMart is very successful.
I bought a $25 DVD player from Best Buy. It plays VCDs and MP3s. It also had progressive scan.
The thing works great. I'm not one to really care too much about techs and such. I generally do buy cheap things and they end up working fine for me. Most of the things that have broken down for me were the more expensive, new items. Go figure.
Now, Best Buy, they are an excellent store. They know where everything is, how to count change, and what they're doing. And the prices on CDs are pretty low compared to other stores like Tower Records. Except their CDs are NOT all clean version, so you don't make the mistake of accidently picking up the clean version of System of a Down - Steal this Album! CD from Walmart.
Best buy actually pays their employees well and teaches them about the area they are working in so they can actually help you. Their hiring process actually invovles a few interviews. It isn't super hard to get a job there but it also is not easy either(compared to other retail stores at least).
I'l have to disagre with you there, had it not ben for the second manager at Target I'd be working there right now. See I could only work day-shifts and the first supervisor said "You'l have to talk to Rose about that." by the way she said her name I could tell she didn't like her, and i didn't either. She was a bitch who wouldn't hire me simply cause I lacked a diploma.
I applied for stock shift. -_-
BUT, I don't mind. I figure Target will eventualy be bought out by Wal-Mart which I will inevitably work for anyway. Either that or thier predescsor Sam's Club.
One reason I wanna work for them is I like thier uniforms.
EDIT: Best Buy a good store?! In the famous words of my mother..
"Geek squad, more like asshole squad!"
Office Depot was so much better.
