Moments before spontaneously combusting Mr. Gardener at
was heard opining:
The lure of saving a dollar is powerful in this country, and most
likely in many other countries as well. Powerful enough that we will
purchase diseased animals and goods of questionable quality produced
by workers on the other side of the world whose wages and workplaces
are sweatshop conditions, from store employees working for barely
minimum wages who rarely speak up about the forced unpaid overtime,
missed meal breaks, little or no fringe benefits, wearing bright blue
smocks with yellow happy faces pinned to their chests
These employees don't care because they're not there very long. I seldom
see the same faces in any dept. or at the registers. The turnover must be
90% or better. They need to get Unions in some of these places.
- Hi, how are
you today - that will be $$ - thankyou now you have a great day NEXT?
- - but if we can save a dollar or two, it's worth it.
It's MORE than a dollar or two. You can't beat WM's prices across the board
*and* you can get everything in the one store making shopping easy and fast.
That's the main reason we shop there.
