From the article, Is Walmart's request of associates to help provide Thanksgiving dinner for co-workers proof of low wages? Available here: http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2013/11/is_walmarts_request_of_associa.html#incart_river_default#incart_m-rpt-2 The last sentence in the quote mentions Erica Reed who is losing $500 a month in child support after her baby's father was sent to jail. She appreciates the food-drive, whereas another employee calls it "demoralizing", and "kind of depressing". I for one tend to avoid walmart, but appreciate the fact when I needed a car tire at 3am they were waiting with open arms. I've heard folk begging to impose long-lost-with-the-Reagan-era antitrust laws to balance bargaining power, and 'free' the market... frankly, no argument can win-over 'Murrica that claims higher prices are better. But, I am always intrigued at consumer vs small business welfare arguments, it's clear who has been winning the argument so far, and I have a good feeling things will continue that way for some time.
