Wal-mart facts

[Broncojohnny]

A good portion of Walmart employees are eligible for various entitlement programs as a result of low salaries, part time employment, and lack of employee benefits. A piece of your check goes to these folks.

I seldom do not side with corporations/businesses, but the ethics of Walmart piss me off. It is wage slavery, like sharecropping in the Old South or in the textile mills of the progressive era.

Of course if the government didn't pay entitlements then either Wal-mart would have to pay more or these people would work someplace else. So what is the problem here, is it Wal-mart or is it entitlement programs?

From what I hear they work about 85-90 hours a week to earn that close to 6 figures though. So work the labor of 2 people, and make exactly what 2 people would make working an average job for a year. No thanks.

when i worked for sams club 6 years ago our store manager made roughly 200k. worked 50ish hours. he was a good guy to work for though. about once a month he would come in and cook the night crew lunch. not much but at least he appriciated his crew

HOLY FUCK!!! That's bankin'!!!

LOL

I could finally move out of my trailer!!

In all honesty though, that's not bad considering the median household income in the US is around $49k.

That is a good thing, as we all would shit ourselves and faint smooth away with your mere presence in the store.

My Father-in-law made $90k last year driving a truck for Wal-Mart, they sure take care of their drivers.

I think a Wal-Mart store manager can make $75-100k.

When I worked for a smaller chain the managers were pulling in over 150k with bonus. I bet Wally pays better but I can not be sure either way. HEB pays very well also and has a bunch of perks.

Not to mention all the extra stuff they use to get that goes with it. Trips to hunt/scuba in Mexico, free product dropped off at the house from the manufacturers,tickets to every kind of sporting event you can imagine, including hanging out in the suites. Retail can be a hell of a way to make a living if you like long hours and customer service.

I avoid walmart at all costs. I do all my shopping at HEB.

Same here. Quality of HEB products blows Wally out of the water. I am either at HEB or Costco because I hate 90 percent of the people that shop there.

However, they do promote from within, most of the managers were associates at one point.

That's pretty respectable. I've worked many places that say they promote from within and very rarely see an example of it.

I wish there was an HEB in HEB.

I have no problem with Walmart. It's cheap. Plenty of ghetto folks, but they don't start any shit with me, so I don't care. I do avoid the one on 183, though.

Closest one up north is in Burleson. I love the shit out of HEB, but it's still quite a bit pricier than Wally World. Went to HEB Monday to get some groceries and it was about $70, where at WalMart I probably would've spent $60 at most. HEB does have good quality storebrand stuff and their deli is far superior.
