Users Trash Wal-Mart On Its Facebook Site
hhavensteincw writes "Only two weeks after Wal-Mart launched its latest foray into Web 2.0 land, Facebook users have hijacked a page aimed at selling back-to-school supplies to college kids to instead post rants about the company's labor practices. Of the 100-plus comments, none relates to dorm decorating as Wal-Mart had originally envisioned."
Wow. $8.50
... here in British Columbia, minimum wage is $8.00 ... and considering how your dollar has lost its value, the exchange rate to canadian is no longer significant.
That actually fits right into my 50 cent comment

Then why don't you explain why we should try to shut down or otherwise impede the worlds largest retailer. Is it because they give jobs to people you'd rather see on welfare, or because they sell food and clothes to people you'd rather see do without?
I'd say that they represent most of the elitist hippy fucktards I've argued this issue with pretty well. But if you think you can put up a better argument for stomping all over my basic liberties and excluding people from the labor market, be my guest.
Wal-mart is so damned evil, but it's the last place people expect it, so it takes a while to catch on. Companies like Halliburton and Monsanto's misdeeds are headline-grabbing events; Wal-mart just has cheap socks and asshole management.
Ex nihilo nihil fit.
When did Wal Mart open a stor on Rigel 7?
... not many light years away. And guess what! We have Wal Mart stores too! And they base their pay on our minimum wage!
... In 1995, 12 years ago, when I graduated and left those minimum wage based jobs I was making $8.50/hr at the station, $7.55 at McDonalds.
... Many Canadian companies have not passed on the savings that we should be getting since your brutal federal finances made your dollar self destruct. For example cars cost 5 to 8 thousand more up here ... but our economy is booming, people have got plenty of money to buy regardless.
I know americans tend to have a problem with geography, but come on, you must know Canada is just next door
Exciting stuff huh.
By the way, I worked while going through university at a gas station and at McDonalds
You are right about prices

Bravo. Great analogy.
I was wondering why I rarely posted here anymore and this is EXACTLY why.
Great argument.
