These folks are going to strike themselves right out of a job! Just like the Hostess Bakery people who, due to a costly strike, are going to close three of their baking locations.

"Our full-time average wage is $12.54 an hour, which is $5.00 above the federal minimum wage." Not something to brag about, the minimum wage is far too low. $7.25 an hour makes you around $1,250 a month. After even the cheapest housing and groceries, you'd have almost nothing left.

Wal-Mart is a joke. They do nothing but run mom and pop companies out of business. They have teams of people that strategically place Wal-Mart's where ma and pa shops thrive. It's sick.

Thanks for Giving us your money so that we can continue to provide goods that are made in China while at the same time employing Americans offering plenty of hours.
Opening on the eve will require full staff...

So many of Walmarts products are so poor in quality, now, old Sam Walton"s body must be spinning like a top in his grave. He sold good quality AMERICAN made products.

What a joke.

Here's an idea...if your skill set as stocking shelves or scanning and bagging items is worth so much money find a company willing to pay you that money.

Bottom line...Wal-Mart fills a void for a lot of people. Sure it's not great pay...but that's because those people arent worth a lot of money. If they had the skills to demand 20 bucks a hour they could go get a 20 bucks a hour job.

In Western Maryland where people are still proud to have a job and earn their own way without big government paying for them they are happy as all get out to work for their 12 bucks a hour...because there are not any other 12 bucks a hour places to work.

Maybe the Dems can step in and fix this issue as well.

It's an abomination that these retailers are opening on Thanksgiving. The idiots who run out to fight over this a discounted cheap junk are just as much to blame as the stores. Life is not all about the almighty buck. Every time I think this country has sunk as low as it’s going to they come up with one more way to show me I was wrong. Maybe it’s just my perception but it seems to me that Wal-Mart is always the one leading the race to the bottom. So much for this Holiday being about spending time with loved ones and giving thanks for each other and our blessings.

Let's just subsidize all retail with federal $$$ that we don't have? What is the solution. We already put manufacturing out of business with union backed high wages so where will we shop when the Wal-Marts are defeated by the liberal agenda? Oh yes no problem we will just build a bridge/tunnel to China which will allow unemployed scientists, engineers and skilled tradesman to work as common laborers under another "economic stimulus" program. Perhaps we can supply the power with products from "Selendra". Let's all enjoy what the harvest will reap over the next four years! Oh, by the way forget about shopping at the Ma/Pop stores that remain? Sick leave mandates will take care of them!
