The cutting wages thing and hiring more part-time than full-time thing don't really surprise me. It's Wal-Mart, whoop dee do.

But I heard about the layaway thing, and I read in the store itself that layways will continue for this holiday season but end afterwards. They said something about Wal-Mart credit being used more or whatever, I really don't care.

Point is, it's Wal-Mart and none of this should be new.
