If you dont like it at walmart- LEAVE!!! Walmart has the best prices

Even you gotta know that this is going to change once there are no
alternatives.
They can treat their employees the way they do because they employ
people with few alternatives.
What do you think is going to happen when the shoppers have no
alternative?

If the shoppers ultimately have no alternative, that's the best of all
possible worlds. That means that no one can offer better prices, better
selection, better service, or any of the other reasons people choose to shop
where they do.

Wal-Mart does not exist for the convenience of its employees. The employees
may have few or no alternatives, but how is that Wal-Mart's fault? And why
should Wal-Mart undertake to "solve" a "problem" it did not create?

Fact is, Wal-Mart provides a path of upward mobility that these employees
never had before. Some significant percentage of store managers started as
backroom or floor employees and advanced within the company.
