Default Wal-Mart revealed?!
Tripped over this story this morning-
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02072009...007.htm?page=0

The author is a former lead writer for Wired who went out into the real (not New York) world to learn about America and got a job at WalyWorld in Flagstaff. This article details his experiences, from the hiring process to the day-to-day reality of how Wal-Mart really works. Fascinating reading!

It's an interesting article, but it's clear from the start he's definitely very pro-Walmart....

I like WalMart. And when I finally reach those "older" years I may seek employment with them.

That's not the point. My point was simply that I doubted the objectivity of the author. I don't like Wal-Mart though, the stores are always horrible and everytime I go to one I feel depressed about humanity.

I'm just breakin your balls. It's easy and popular to beat up on Wal Mart. Some of it deserved, a lot of it is nonsense IMHO. I'm a Target/Costco man myself.
