To give the poor dog a bone;
When she came there,
The shelves were all bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
Your bosses will work you 'til you're in your graves.The e-mails began arriving shortly after the article was published and were still coming a week later. Most were from previously loyal Wal-Mart customers befuddled by what had happened to service at a company they’d once admired for its low prices and wide assortment. Many said they were paying more and driving farther to avoid the local Wal-Mart. Some had developed shopping strategies, including waiting until the last minute to grab ice cream, lest it melt in the lengthy checkout lines.
Wal-Mart founder “Sam Walton must be rolling over in his grave to see what has become of his business,” said Tony Martin, a 54-year-old forklift driver who once frequented a Wal- Mart store in Glen Carbon, Illinois.
Thinly Spread
Wal-Mart’s restocking challenges stem from a thinly spread labor force struggling to keep up with all the work that needs to be done, said Colin McGranahan, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer’s workforce at its namesake and Sam’s Club warehouse chains in the U.S. fell by about 120,000 employees between 2008 and Jan. 31, according to a securities filing on March 26. The company now has about 1.3 million U.S. workers. In the same period, it has added about 455 U.S. Wal-Mart stores, bringing its total to 4,005.

There's a fair chance Tony, given his occupation, is union. If so, Tony, WTF are you doing shopping Walmart anyhow. If not, WTF are you doing shopping at Walmart anyhow?
Well obviously we need to give Wal-Mart a huge tax break so they can hire more people. Hail to the job creators!!!
Hey, and all this wonderfulness is now coming to Chinatown!
The only time I've ever shopped at a Wall Mart was in my mom's town, Nacogdoches, TX, where it sprawled hugely among former cow pastures at the north end of town, and where the central square of the town was lined with empty stores.
