'the best store in the world'

a co-worker just called wal-mart 'the best store in the world.' i wanted to say to her: you ever worked for minimum wage without benefits? you ever worked mandatory unpaid overtime? you ever worked a retail/stockroom job without union protection? you ever watched your better paying job go because wal-mart squeezed out the local employers, leaving your only employment option wal-mart? you ever wondered why you paid your employer to pay you?
you ever been royally fucked, and then fired for complaining about it?
if wal-mart employees try to unionise, the company would rather close the store, even if it's their most profitable store in canada. unions exist to prevent the bullying and strong-arming wal-mart imposes on its employees. scare tactics, and a weak economy, keep wal-mart strong. which is why, despite my need to cut expenses, i'd rather go to target. i'll pay the extra whatever to go somewhere with a marginally greater social conscience.
