Wal Mart replaced a business that had closed. When the "Family owned Rainedbow Market" closed down we were all disappointed and said "It's because of the economy".
The "Rainbow Market" was the anchor of the complex, and within month the two other businesses in the complex also shut down - Taco Bell and a another restaurant. Our best hope was that someone - anyone - would open up a new business there.
Now we have Wal Mart which has three times as many employees as the Rainbow Market. Wal Mart doesn't have health benefits? Well, the employees at the Rainbow Market didn't have health benefits either.

Now he is working crazy hours that will continue until new years. fuck walmart

Would your son had made more money working at Burger King?
When I was a kid I worked four jobs and I didn't have health benefits.
