this could turn into a HUGE deal.

Its been a dirty secret for a long time that Walmart doesnt pay its female associates as much as thier male associates.

Edit:

I wold liek to point out that its MY observation that this is very liekly to be true. I all too often saw mgmt and higher tier associates ( LP and Cash office etc ) female associates,, with the same amt of expt and seniority getting less pay than males. To be honest.. most of the time it wasnt much.. but it was there.

I've never been too fond of how Pizza Hut treats their female employees, either. At least that's for all the Pizza Hut's I've ever been to.

We all know that they hang their employee's by their toenails, that's how they have such great prices.


I love my Wal-Mart, very clean, well run, unlike another company, Target.

Freaking HATE Target, when I found out that they don't do price matching is the last day I shopped there. The only time I go back is when they have a sale on XBL points cards. I bought $80 worth of points for $20. Greatest deal EVAR, lol.

Anyone who wants to help me screw over Target is welcome to join in on the fun.

Should I make a Steam group? lol.

The business model for Wal-Mart of not honoring their online prices in stores is a HUGE EPIC FAIL. That is the one thing that I hate about Wal-Mart most. This is 2010, people do have the internet. If they aren't buying it at Wal-Mart then they are getting it online for cheaper.


Don't even get me started on Monster. Another company that should be shut down.


'Amazing, gas injected, 24k gold connector, blow your load all over HDMI cables for $250. Monster, I HATE YOU.

They don't pricematch walmart.com because online has less overhead. In the store you are helping pay for all of the cost of running the store itself.

No i agree, its amazing Monster is still in buisness. I still don't understand how you can talk people into paying so much for cables
