It is difficult, I know, for you socialists to accept that many people actually want and like to work.

The concept is anethema to the socialist ideology.
Actually, I wonder how the work gets done and the shelves stocked properly at all. I have never seen such a turn over of workers as not only Walmart, but at the Super Store and other such places where the wages are poor. It seems that every time you go in there are new people. If they were to pay a decent age and keep the staff for a while, one would think it would be cheaper than constantly training new ones, but apparently not.

Strange, because I haven't seen that at the Superstore (I don't go to WalMart).

Does it mean that what JR says does happen, just because she says it does?

What a joke you can be sometimes, were you always like this?

Idiots again!

While I seldom go to the local Walmart, over the 10 years or so it has been here there are any number of people who have been there at least that long.

However the socialist mind again trips itself up.

On the one hand claiming the jobs are worthless (because non-union) and at the same time admitting there is no shortage of people wanting them as is proved by the new faces they often see.

One wonders though what a good socialist, union-person is doing shopping at Walmart? Or do you all just go to look for familiar faces? Perhaps old union buddies?

Interesting to note too, the resident chief smellfungus is so insensitive to the needs of people in general, that she laments young and old peoiple alike taking good jobs in an effort to better their lives.

What is that word they use so often, but appear to believe does not apply to them? Oh, yah...hypocrites.

So the government/big business conspiracy is more far-reaching that I thought.......

Wall-Mart and good jobs? I guess to a dishwashwer any job would appear to him to be a good job! The point is the turnover and time to train new people everyday! It would make sense to you, cause you just don't know any better!

Thank you both

for proving how ignorant your position is.

I would be far happier being a dishwasher doing an honest job than a public service union member being overpaid for shirking work.

All jobs are good jobs, as long as you do it well.

All of this just makes me laugh people. Arguing over Wal-mart jobs, dishwashing jobs. Union or non-union. While the politicians are pocketing millions of dollars under the table.

We really are the "little people" aren't we????

Do you keep reciepts 20 years old? I don't, so you won't have any proof...and frankly, I really don't give a damn what a redneck fool like you thinks anyway.

Take a look at my house, and we'll see who's collecting...

You are only proving your lack of ability to deal with people ! People skills are a requirement to run a bussiness which means your BS isn't flying! Nobody in thier right mind would even give you the time of day, never mind work for you!

Yeah, I do tend to be pretty blunt when it comes to idiots & fools like yourself, so what's your point? I don't feel the need to deal with idiots, so I tell them exactly what I think of them.

The top echelon are the people I deal with, and they are not fools, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are. That gives me the freedom to say what I mean, not kiss someone's a$$, which is what you have to do in order to stay employed.

Taste any brown lately?

As much as I wish everyone everywhere would belong to a union that paid a decent wage and had decent working conditions, it unfortunately is not so. I can't avoid non-union made goods and services any more than you can avoid union made ones, and still carry on a life.

Am I a hypocrite for buying my cat food at Wal-mart and thus stabbing the union movement in the back? Are you one for buying a union made car and going to the liquor store and buying union made booze while railing against unionized labour? I could pay more and you could do without.
