Fake Leader!

I like it when Walmart uses other retailers and grocery store programs and call it their own. It makes Walmart a very confused company with no real direction. Every year the have their meeting and store managers come back and unload the "new" program... — read more

To the folks at WM HQ

You thought they just treated folks in the stores like dirt, didn’t you? It looks to me like home office is starting to get a taste of the treatment store associates have gotten for years. But hey. The stock price is up.
