I've quit a few jobs when I was younger, afraid to now...at our age, you just can't go get another job...as a truck driver you can job jump but health conditions pretty much limit my choices anymore...had maybe 12-13 jobs since the mid 70s, any one of them from 1 week - 11 years...walmart ranks as the bottom 1 or 2, sorry if you can't see it the way I do...you just can't believe the way some things are done and handled there, we always say "if it has anything to do with common sense, its not the walmart way"...ok, I'm done whining...

I know the whole story. Your the one whining. Why don't you quit. That's what I did when I worked for someone I didn't like.

I might also point out that you have to call in sick two days in a row to get paid for one day...call in sick one day-no sick pay...quit or get fired, your sick time means diddly squat...I have tons of sick time, it don't mean crap...get a job there Butch, then YOU will know the whole story...

how long has granny been there Butch?? they don't hire people now the way they used to...the people that started long ago have the better benefits than people starting these days..I work with a woman who makes around 18$ an hour and she does no more than a 8$ an hour person, except run her mouth... it used to be a good job-not any more...the LITTLE discount card will give you a discount on lighters but not milk(example)...I have worked at walmart for 5 years and it just keeps getting worse..I am a 55 year old man who used to drive trucks, a heart condition won't let me drive so I work at walmart...they have reduced all employees hours and continually make it difficult with the demands they put on you...in my department, we lost 2 young men to other outside jobs and they replaced them with one young girl who does not lift heavy items...it used to pay to stay, not anymore..I could go on and on...I won't believe for a second a store has 500 employees, granny needs to brush up on her guessing skills...other than that, good for granny...

I might also point out she also has 200 HRs. sick time. That's 5 weeks in the math I learned.

It may sound bad the way you put it but Granny makes about 15 dollars an hr. to punch keys and gets 4 WKS. paid vacation a year. Starting out might be a little low but it pays to stay. Then there is the stock, 401, and the little discount card. If you want to tell a story tell it all. Or maybe you don't know the whole story. They also give up to 5 percent raises every year. More than the cost of living is for us retired people. Granny got more than that this year. There are around 500 employees at her store. Three shifts with all the people in the back you don't see. I wouldn't blame them if they shut the doors the way fools run them down. Wouldn't hurt us. We are set. Thank you WalMart.

Piss on WalMart! Shop at the small mom and pop shops! Same thing goes for the LRAFB Commissary and their SURCHARGE and BAGGERS!
