Also you were doing that with the hope of becoming a star so it was sacrifice.The guys in Van Halen lived on catsup and hot water. No one works at walmart with the hope of being star. its the hope to survive. Especially if you are in your 40's or 50's and no one else wants you.
I made the $400 at a couple of gigs in 1990. I was a KING for a couple of weeks. lol

As far as "hope to survive", isn't that being a little melodramatic?
It's a job, plain and simple.
And a lot of folks who work there LOVE it at Christmas because they have employee discounts.

Most of the people I see working at Walmart are my age or older. And most of the women working the checkout are married and their husband's have jobs too. Just saying...there are a lot of people in this country who are unemployed and would love to have that Walmart job.
