Oh, no. I know their business practices. It's just about how desperate this community is.
I understand that. ::sigh:: Such a clusterfuck it all is.
Forgot to say - cutiehead Matilda! Love those pics.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

but for starters Walmart doesn't hire *anyone* full time anymore so they don't have to pay benefits.
I don't think this is actually true
(not that I love their business practices, but things do get exaggerated.

Man, you'd think most folks in the South would wise up to the fact that they'd benefit from voting Democrat.
And you singled out the South because...?

It's where Wal-Mart is from and they dominate the market down there.

Perkins, that page is very, very misleading. For example, it states that 95% of its employees have healthcare. What they fail to tell you is that only a fraction of that number is actually through Walmart. Most of its employees who have healthcare are on Medicaid or other sources.
Also SIX months before you're allowed to enroll in their healthplan? And a year for part timers? Gah.

Yup. And they do do the full time, it's just carefully allocated.
I do wish everyone would stop calling it Obamacare. For one thing, that's polarizing. For another, it's polarizing and calls out the crazies. And it ain't great. A start, at least. TO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE OMG TYRANNYFASCISMHITLER.
OK, sorry, just channeling the crazies.

I was using that to point out they do hire full time people.
As I said, I know they have issues, but frequently there is exaggeration involved.

Though nearly 95 percent of our associates have some form of health insurance,
I wonder how many of those are on Medicaid? My source was a social worker friend who told me about a former client put on "medical leave" while being pregnant because otherwise they would have had to rehire her into a different job with worse benefits.

Full time people who work 34 hours a week for about $9 an hour.
There's a reason I shop at Costco and won't set foot in a Wal*Mart.
