Comments on: Plan 1 from Bentonville http://www.dustbury.com/archives/9348 I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less. Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:36:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrea Harris http://www.dustbury.com/archives/9348/comment-page-1#comment-24991 Andrea Harris Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:18:08 +0000 http://www.dustbury.com/?p=9348#comment-24991 Huh. When I was hired on at the Mart of Wal last year (before I moved out of Florida forever and ever -- and I only worked at Walmart two days because I got another job, which a month later let me go, but then I got another job, which I at least had for four months before I was replaced by someone who knew all about cabinet design but couldn't operate a PC, and then I was on unemployment for several months, and then I decided to leave Florida forever and ever...) Anyway, when I was at Walmart for two whole days I don't remember anything like that in the super-cheery, kid-table-games-based orientation. But then Florida doesn't have a huge union presence. Huh.

I hope I never work at a job where I have to start every day by participating in a pep rally. I'd totally shop at Target instead if it didn't mean an hour's round trip to get to the nearest one. (Though I wonder if their employee practices are much better) All I know about Wal-Mart employee practices are the semi-creepy hand-clapping, self-cheering “circles” they seem to do first thing Saturday morning, presumably to rev themselves up for the day.
