They are the low-wage demographic, seniors, uneducated people, immigrants, young single parents, and the disabled.

The perfect group of people that cannot afford to lose money while job seeking.
fair enough, but they arent tied down are they? people choose to work at walmart, there MUSTbe something besides the paycheque keeping them there. it cant be all the doom and gloom as some report.

i bet they do treat their workers fairly well. however, i guess if you dont want to be stuck in a dead end position, you can take some responsibility for yourself and do something about it? i understand students, semi retired people and secondary income earners working for menial wages, but i still dont understand when i see a 35 year old caucasian male working the cashier at Toys R Us.
