9. No, walmart isnt guns aren't bad for america.

The assholes shooting them are the problem. running it and other companies like it who dont want to pay a living wage is what is bad for america.

This is what I say about guns!!! If guns cause crime then matches cause arson

My sister works at a Belk's department store and just had her hours cut back, which they do for the first quarter of every year. I would imagine it's a common practice among most large retailers.

I worked as a department manager in retail for a large chain.  Walmart sounds like they are using the same model.  It's a formula that uses historical data to schedule labor hours vs sales projections.

They don't schedule employees by dollars, but by hours.  It's up to the managers of the stores to adhere to those hours, or they get called on the carpet by corporate and lose bonuses.

The biggest problem with stocking the shelves has more to do with corporate than how many employees are on the floor.  If the store doesn't get their shipments in because of late deliveries or slow suppliers, that seems to be a purchasing/distribution problem.  Also, a lot of purchases are months in advance of actual receipt.

I think it's the suppliers that are having the problems getting their stuff out the door and into the central warehouses.

All true.

Unless my dogs and cats run out of food and "Toots" is visiting family, I refuse to enter Wally World. One good thing is I have a Handicap parking permit so I don't have to walk a mile for a camel!

So does the boss, but unless you go early in the morning, most of those are taken by geezers, especially on "check day".

Alright cavers, help me out with my math.
I understand the average starting wage of Wally World is $10.00/hr.
Now owebuma wants the minimum wage to be $10.10/hr.
What, if anything, am I missing ?

Average starting wage at Wally World is $8 around here. Other than that, yer not missin' anything. O'Bummer is only paddin' the pockets of gubmint slugs. If you've ever watched those guys, they oughta be payin' us! Same thing as watchin' a federal highway job. 5 guys standin' around while one guy digs a hole.

It's a union thing.

A fellow that once worked for me is now making over $20 an hr. working for WAL-MART and with a full package of benefits.

I live in a right to work state. They still only pay you what yer worth. Granted, I doubt there are any workers being paid $8 here, but that is their starting wage.

my daughter is a Pharm Tech working at Wally's and makes $18 plus bennies, but she's been there for 12 years.

I don't dispute that at all.
What I can't get straight is $12.83 is > $10.10, which owebuma is offering.
If libs are mad at Wally World, shouldn't they be even madder at their messiah ?

Was just at Walmart. They have a lot of stuff on tables marked for clearance, but the regular shelves were fully stocked. The place was crowded, too. It's the first day above 20 degrees in awhile.

This fellow has been with them about 15 years. Started out unloading trucks on the weekend shift. Moved up to better jobs. One was forklift mechanic and now some form of supervision.

He got his girlfriend pregnant and dropped out of high school in the tenth grade to support her and raise a family...no government freebies ever for him. He started working for me as a second job and was more dependable than any of my employees. He worked for me only for about 12 years until WAL-MART opened a distribution center about 30 miles away. I encouraged him to apply for a weekend job there for the benefits. He wasn't going to apply because they required a high school diploma. The lady at WAL-MART called to ask me about his work record. I told her the truth and added, "I know he doesn't look like the type but he's hard working, honest, dependable and will make you a good employee." She asked why I was encouraging her to hire him and if he was going to continue to work for me during the week. I was honest, I told her he needed the extra money and especial benefits. Told her that he had been working at least two full time jobs most of the time since he was 15 years old.

When the WAL-MART distribution center first opened they had people quitting right and left.  They just didn't want to work at the pace they required or to be on the job every time they were supposed to be. The hiring lady called me more than once  wanting to know if I knew any more like the fellow I had recommended. I told her "NO" but if I did I'd hire them myself and let her use them on the weekends.....LOL
