Last month, Walmart Senior VP Ken Senser issued a company-wide memo on flu season ‘preparedness.’ His memo claims “the wellbeing of our associates… is a top priority,” and offers guidance on how to “plan ahead” in case the flu virus strikes. Be prepare...

No Walmart never did nor does anything for the special needs that my children have. I have helped raise thousands in the years there but wish they did more locally. Problem is that they cut hours of the people that were suppose to be doing that so most is done on off time or unless a manager is forced to do something in Diversity Training. So little time for everyone there.
Mark and Cynthia I agree with both of you. Seen it all happen there. Sure don't miss it, other than my friends.

Phil, Thanks I will always be okay as my children as I am my mother's daughter, meaning we don't give up. Money might be tight but always have our minds and will. Thanks for thinking of us though!!! (See I knew I could get through to you...lol).

When you get sick, do you take the day off? You should, especially if you have the flu or other viruses that are easily spreadable. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agree, but Walmart, through its corporate policies, are not heeding that advice...

Like I said earlier it sounds like to me if you crap in your pants you'd blame walmart. All i'm saying is if walmart is that bad WHY ARE YOU STILL WORKING THERE? I mean if I hated it that much i'd quit. Stop blaming everyone else for your choices in life. The big problem with alot of the people I see is they don't wont to work but they want a pay ...

Phillip I gave them 12 years of my life. Enough said about that. Oh I see a trucker. Well I guess alittle step up from the stockman (cart pusher) superman I thought you were.LOL. You know I come from a very hard working family too ( raised by a single mother due to my father died when I was 4 saving 3 kids from drowning) so believe me hard work is nothing new for me but I believe you can do a great job and still be educated. All of my kids that are of age work and are in college too.
As a truck driver you do have a hard job but don't see all the bs that is seen at store level 24/7. Not all Walmart associates whine as you think they do.I agree with you on some as they use to come to me but tell them if you whine to me and don't take it open door don't say no one did anything.

Met some amazing people in my years there and can tell you that I could probably go for any position there and get it with flying colors.

Well Pat when your number one there are aslways folks like you that put you down. I look at it this way and tell my daughters, if somebody is always putting you or your company down, no matter what you do they won't be happy. If walmart let you sit home and gave you a check you'd be ill that they used black ink... So please hurry and cry me a river....

What am I wrong about Phil? You know I agree with your philosophy about hard work BUT you never bring any facts or research to the plate. You can't have a debate without numbers, and facts. Try going to court and saying that "cry me a river" to see how fast the judge kicks you out. YOu still didn't answer me as to how a trucker has as much clout as you say you do? Selling all those pins make you a Walton?

Walmart has no store locations in the afterlife, but that won’t keep the company from making a few final dollars off their customers even after their lives are spent. ...

Interesting. I would love it if they went back to the stores they originally abandoned to build bigger ones and reuse those structures so they don't become a blight on communities.

Apparently Walmart is VERY in to going green...unless it inconveniences them or their customers a little...or cuts in to sales. At least that seems to be the message in Walmart’s latest announcement that they won’t cut plastic bags from two stores until after the holidays, or later. Ju...

You obvious are nothing but a male bigot Mr. Hargrove. I dont' understand what your point is. Did you ever think that I am an ex associate because I made something of my life with DEGREES and hard work? Stop assuming you know everything as it only makes you look worse obviously.

I know this is the South and they could get away with it (most times) unless the ACLU gets wind of it. Basically it is Entrapment. As an ex Walmart LP associate there is no way that we would have done that up North or be a part of it. When it comes to a payout chance they would not take a chance.

Now you don't like the south! Well there's always the north. See the part you don't seem to understand is if you don't like where your at in life, only you have the power to change it. Don't blame walmart because you have made poor choices in your life. You can't blame anyone but yourself! As far as the aclu they only do things to hurt America. ...

Believe me you are talking to the wrong person. I have made alot of difference in my time with Walmart and in fact had people always come to me for advise when they were treated wrongly. I lived in the South but am a Northerner. You know that stuff still happens down there that we would never tolerate up here (NY). Wait aren't you from Ohio? Or the... Read More Southern part by Kentucky? LOL You need to get a life mister as I do. I take care of myself and my 5 children. Oh by the way many degrees do you have Mr. Hargrove? I have seen ALOT of hard working people get screwed by Walmart and vice versa. Life is what you make it I agree but you can not always take one side until you hear the whole story, which is MY POINT!!!
