"Walmart Holding Canned Food Drive For Its Own Employees"

[Jmpty]

You know that they are soliciting donations from employees, to help other employees, right?

Yeah, but that ruins a great Two Minute Hate.

I think that makes it worse, actually.

Well if you want to call putting a couple of plastic bins in a break room soliciting then yes, I am well aware of what they're doing. And again, I fail to see the big deal in it.

Walmart is a large chain and their stores are retail establishments. I know of no large chain retail establishments that pay non-management level employees north of $50k/yr. If it were common for other large chains to pay staff that much and Walmart didn't then yeah, this would be a news worthy thing. But as that's not the case, its just not a BFD for me.
