I hope some a ya'll can relate to clocking out of a job and chugging down a bottle of Gatorade so fast that you get a stomach ache on the drive home.

Dear Walmart transwoman

It is okay that you mis gendered me. I am sorry that you feel so bad for it. I really didn’t have a problem for I am not passing nor even binding today. But also thank you for understanding and correcting yourself. I sadly wish I would have stopped to talk to you more instead of run off like a coward but maybe next time I come in I will find you? Who knows.

Me: or, "do you work here? No, I just loveeee to wear this ugly ass blue vest and pretend to be a Walmart worker on a fucking Saturday

Forced into Quitting

I was forced into quitting my job at wal-mart after being injured on the job. After nearly 5 years of working for the company, setting up their POS network in the backroom, maintaining the backroom, loading, unloading trucks, doing the job of a support manager for 7 months and then passed up for promotion, and running areas on the floor that are now ran in the same store by 3 people instead of 1, I was forced into quitting. This occurred when I was injured when an unsecure pallet of 2k lbs broke while I was working on it. I was injured and have permanent nerve damage now in my leg and lower back making walking, standing, and sitting painful. I can no longer lift one of my arms above my head for extended periods of time. While on medical leave I was given a certified letter on 5pm on a friday which stated that I had 24 hours to bring to them an update of my medical information or they would consider it as me quitting. It is not possible to see an occupational therapist on a saturday when their hours are only mon-fri. On monday, at 7:30 in the morning I returned to the store and gave them the paperwork. They informed me that they don't know anything about the paperwork and that they were told a month prior that I had quit. All my information was already removed and placed that I had quit without notification, leaving me unavailable for re-employment with that company. I used to work for walmart when Sam Walton was alive. When minimum wage was $5.25/hour. I started then at $11.50/hour and was given time and a half on weekends, double time on sundays, and percentage based wages with some of the best medical care available. I left after Sam's death. When I returned to the exact same position some years later, I was given a wage of $7.25/hour (minimum wage), no overtime compensation, no weekend premium, static raises of 5, 10, or 50 cents an hour, and no medical care for the first year of employment. Sam would be ashamed of his children, nearly as ashamed as the employees are.

Fair wages are living wages

Your fellow humans help you grow, help you pay the people at the top, yet you don't pay enough for them to survive every month.

Walmart reaps obscene profits through subsidized labor costs (public assistance and other corporate welfare)

I was never thrilled about the surge of Walmarts across America as it wasn't hard to correlate the decline of community small businesses to the appearance of Walmarts in their midst. Walmart stores are an economic cancer on a community; they drive surrounding small businesses out of existence and the former owners and their employees into Walmart servitude. For the most part, though, Walmart's pricing advantage over small businesses is through rock bottom wages--to the point that even full-time employees require public assistance to make ends meet. Walmart is not just aware of this; they (and of other businesses with similar models, like McDonald’s) count on a business model that is, effectively, a high-level scam that has tax payers subsidize a part of their labor operating costs. What they don’t pay their employees goes to the pockets of the Walton family and their corporate suits as yet more riches for themselves. But Walmart employees are not the only victims of Walmart corporate greed; tax-payers are also paying a price for Walmart's cynical business model, whether we shop there or not. Whatever “savings” Walmart “shoppers” think they realize turns out to be costlier once we factor in the cost of public assistance the public funds. While I’m not aware of a study that would quantify the true cost of Walmart’s business model, I’d be willing to bet that the cost of Walmart goods is probably comparable to what small businesses sold for before Walmarts. But the modest profits that provided for the multitude of small businesses and their employees now get raked into the pockets of very few mega-rich families instead.
