    I wish I could shop at Walmart less; there’s nothing near by that fits my budget. I truly believe this is a tactic for Walmart to recoup their money; pay their employees less, forcing their employees to shop at Walmart because they can’t afford anything else.

      I totally get that, and hope you never feel bad about that.

      I will keep voting with my money, when I can, for alternative options that may someday make your situation better.

      Hang in there however you can.

      Then they start offering apartments nearby, owned by WalMart, so you can save on gas. Then they start paying you in WalBucks which can only be used at WalMart or to pay for your apartment.

      Suddenly you can’t afford the things you need to live, but it’s ok! WalMart has it all and they’ll give you credit! It gets even easier though! They’ll just your purchases out of your pay! …which is never enough to cover the purchases.

      Now you’re a slave to WalMart.

      How long until Walmart starts paying in scrip? I mean you could argue they already sort of do with how many of their staff are on food stamps.
