"I have no sympathy for Walmart workers"


 
"I have no sympathy for Walmart workers. If they don't like it, they can get a job somewhere else".


This is what I heard from someone last night after dinner.

 .   .   .   .   .   

My wife made a brief and succinct reply that shut the person up. I sat that one out since I was still a little red in the face from arguing for marriage equality.

Aren't holidays fun!

Bouncy by proxy since the wife shut the freeper up?  :rotf:

3. She told her to tell that to her sister.

Her sister (who has a Masters degree) had to leave Thanksgiving dinner early to get up at 2:00 in the morning to work for a similar big box company. She's making more money than a Walmart employee but not enough to make ends meet.

With unemployment being at never seen before lows how in the world does someone with a masters end up working at a "big box company"?
You would think with all the wonders that 0bama has done for us we wouldn't see this anymore.

I have more sympathy for the soldiers, sailors, and Marines who worked this Thanksgiving in some shit hole on the other side of the world than I do for wal mart workers. At least the wal mart workers will get some time to be with their families.

Target?  Isn't that a store that DUmmies love?

A masters degree in "The History of Medieval Art" will really open the doors for you at any big box store.

Has anyone ever been able to "make ends meet" as a retail clerk in a discount store?

It has always been for kids, or to supplement the household income.

This is all about siphoning union dues out of WalMart.

What I was thinking.
Strange that they never seem to divulge what those degrees are related to, isn't it.
Then, even if they did mention something, I'd be inclined not to believe it.

I noticed that too, it couldn't be that the DUmmies are lying could it?

So If I'm to believe you...you spent Thanksgiving with the family and all you did was argue with people?
This is why so many DUmmies have no where to go on Thanksgiving, NO ONE wants to deal with a$$holes at a family gathering.

Liberals are sad, pathetic people.

I take that as an admission that he argued for traditional marriage?  That, after all, is the only true definition of marriage equality.  He should be banned from Skin's Island.

I have no sympathy for DUmmies. If they don't like their situation they can simply choose to flip that little silicon switch inside their brains and start thinking and acting like mature and rational human beings.

My ex DIL is a pain pill addict, meth user, got a Master's Degree.  She is teaching math to high school kids in Arkansas.  She couldn't balance a checkbook 5 years ago.  I'm thinking she got that Master's Degree the old fashioned way because she's dumb as a rock.

And she's not the only dumb one with a degree.  Look at the DUmp.   :lmao:

The friends and family of the DUmmies work at Walmart because Walmart does not discriminate against the mentally ill.  They should kiss Walmart floors when entering.    :-)

Yep. Wal-Mart is the type of job you take for supplemental income for someone like a farmer's wife or the wife of a self-employed man, for health care benefits, for a single person's second job, or to supplement retirement income. 

My hubby had a part-time job at Wal-Mart before we married, when he was paying his ex 80% of his paycheck, and paying for all transportation, 1/2 healthcare and 1/2 any thing else she said out of his 20%.  His Wal-Mart job kept him in groceries and gasoline.  He was happy working for them, they paid fairly, scheduled his hours around his other job, and had treated him well.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

No shock.  You're a DUmbass.  All of your emotions are phony and contrived; molded to protect and further your sick and twisted ideology.  Everything you do and say is an act - - Life Theater for the perpetually mentally stunted.
