Build Wal*mart housing and apartments to go with the Wal*Mart salaries.

It's sort of nice that they are helping one another out, keeping the concept of "donating" close to home. I mean, what's a lowly poor WalMart cashier to do? Donate her one jar of pumpkin sauce to the Philippines?

Ohhh, I owe my soul to the company store....

The Walton family is probably just fattening up its employees so it can eat them over the holidays.

@1: This is proof the free market works! Don't you see? That isn't some gov't program distributing food, but the efficiency and innovation only possible through free enterprise!

What's even more evil about this is that WalMart is not only holding a food drive to help feed its ridiculously underpaid employees, but making a profit from every item purchased for said food drive.

My advice: if you're going to donate to help feed WalMart employees over the holidays, buy the nonparishables somewhere else first, like, say, Costco, and then bring them to you nearest WalMart. I mean, it's not like the store isn't going to accept non-WalMart purchased donations, right?

Right?

@8 Even worse, the donation buckets are in back, where only employees can see them. They're asking other underpaid workers to pitch in to cover the underpaid workers who can't afford food.

@10:

Geebuz, whyn't they just deduct $20 from each employee's paycheck and then give them all $20 WalMart gift cards while they're at it?

Fucking evil parasites, the whole damned family...

Welcome to American't. If you worked here, you'd be poor by now.

And Hillary worked for them! Hillary in 2016!!!!!

Meh--at least unlike McDonalds Walmart doesn't try to pretend to pay a livable wage.

Walmart's even more fucked than this. It was reported today that

...the Affordable Care Act could weigh on their profits... In a call with analysts last week a Walmart executive said that’s another "line item in their personal budget" that could cut into customers’ spending...

Unlike medical bankruptcy, apparently.

Any company that pays its employees so little that they must go on food stamps is getting a government subsidy at the taxpayers' expense.
