Examples: Carting and lifting heavy door assemblies. Moving materials around the plant. Painting (workers prone to uneven spray patterns due to fatigue).<br /><br />Keep voting for the Dems. Consequence: Computer screen to order your meal. Pour your own sodas. You are the checkout clerk at big boxes. Stay tuned.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-60070672167525768562019-04-10T20:51:52.927-04:002019-04-10T20:51:52.927-04:00Walmart is a family owned business, never been off...Walmart is a family owned business, never been offered to the publicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-74445652298001833912019-04-10T20:33:31.713-04:002019-04-10T20:33:31.713-04:00428 - a classic SKYNET response.

I have friends and relatives who have worked for them and I can tell you it is a very unpleasant place to work.<br /><br /> They treat their workers like crap, and it shows in their poor customer service. They have a high turn around of employees because they are either quitting or getting fired for one reason or another.
