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.

Wow. No, really they don't.

Whereas Wal-Mart employees start at the same salary as unionized employees in similar lines of work, they make 25 percent less than their unionized counterparts after two years at the job. The rapid turnover - 70 percent of employees leave within the first year - is attributed to a lack of recognition and inadequate pay, according to a survey Wal-Mart conducted. Yet this can work to the company's advantage, since it is more difficult for unions to organize when there is constant employee turnover.
