Walmart

So your gonna tell me since it is a retail business even though they are making billions they can not pay more to better the lives of their own workers. Now that makes no sense.

of course not its retail

When are you moving to North Dakota for a McDonalds job then? Pays good, you can live on it. Go ahead, give them a call up there in Fargo, or Minot. Look in the yellow pages under Restaurants, it's spelled McDonald's, just like the burger chain. They are waiting to hear from you right now, seein's how you need a job and all that. Get in your car tomorrow, keep us all posted on how that goes for ya. You could set a trend here in the St. Louis area for the unemployed, show them the way to get work and make something of themselves. Post pictures when you get settled in, would love to see you on the grill, or maybe handing food over at the counter. Great job. Good benefits. You're missing out if you don't make that call.

drill baby drill

some resources to help you pick out your new home... or you could get a shared room in a man camp, if that's all you can afford....

can you say oil drill baby drill

I see no one answered my question, which is probably the answer to my question....


Ya know, a fork lift operator isn't worth anymore then 8 to 10 bucks an hour, so why would you pay anymore then that for one? (at one point in my life I was one) I have a friend of mine that makes close to 80K driving a forklift. Seriously? And were supposed to compete with other countries for market share?

Same difference for Wally World, they pay their employees what their worth. If you shop Wally World, and I do, there are a fair amount of the employees that are well over paid at minimum wage. And the ones carrying them are the ones being cheated. But thats life, ain't it...

It would seem someone who can scan labels at the checkout is worth way more than that at Walmart.... So, I gotta ask, if a Forklift driver who could possibly destroy thousands of dollars of goods should they make a mistake is only worth $10 an hour, how much should a checker, who really can't do that much damage with one mistake, get paid?

$7? $6? Less? Seriously, what do you think someone who just runs a checkout is worth, in your opinion? Can't be much. No skill involved in passing a label over a scanner, taking a card or a check or cash and saying "Thanks for shopping at our Mart" is there? Not really. But apparently, according to another poster on here whom I would assume gathers on the same side of the political spectrum as you, Cashiers at Walmart are golden. Big bonus checks, $19 an hour, good health insurance, profit sharing, stock options, 401k, paid vacations, the works. The "Executive Cashier Renumeration Package." All that's missing is the golden parachute should the store go belly up, guaranteeing the cashier will never work again for life.

So. What do you make of that? Overpaid? Ridiculous waste of money? Should be gotten rid of and replaced with someone cheaper? Not worth the extravagant wage and benefit package?

Do you have any idea what's going on in ND right now? Why they only have 3% unemployment?

Enlighten me. Oh wait, I already know. I still can't figure out why you aren't there, smart feller that you are and all that. Go where the money is, buddy. You only live once.

( Oh yeah, if you had the answer to that, you would also know why you can't LIVE ON $15 an hour working part time hours in North Dakota right now... and it has NOTHING to do with "unemployment in Cally" like your twin says.... Do some research... figure it out.... it aint hard...)

We all get tired of your "head up your butt in darkness" foolishness too.

We aren't blinded by the light Duane. We see reality just fine. We just don't let people sell us bumper sticker slogans and Faux News spin, tea party nonsense or any other fine right wing creation of the imagination.

We have plenty of historical fact to look at when it comes time to make comparisons. We tried it the Republican way, a few hit the gold mine while the nation got the shaft. Thanks, but no thanks.

yep you just hang out with the seiu gang and the black panthers

[LITE-INN]

Sure, 20 hours a week, plus food stamps and public assisted housing.. I bet you could make that work.

you must live higher on the hog than I do food stamps no nothing about publlic housing neither try again

[LITE-INN]

maybe 3 percent unemployment might have something to do with it just like IL lmao

Try to live on $15 an hour, no health benefits and less than 32 hours a week in North Dakota. The reality is you can't. Which is why no one takes the job.

You guys always take a smidgen of the whole picture and ignore the reality. Sure, it makes great headlines, but it doesn't reflect the truth.

True, in a competitive market or arena, the wages will go up, and understandable, its the market. I saw commercials when I was in South Dakota a few weeks ago for McDonald's workers starting at 15 bucks an hour. No one wants to work in North Dakota, the weather sucks, they'd rather collect unemployment in Cally....
