This type of demonstration really exemplifies the difficulties of being employed by Wal-Mart and just how challenging life can be when trying to live on a disgracefully low wage. Even with the food drive, many of the company’s employees will still be stuck working and unable to even eat a Thanksgiving dinner — due to Black Friday sales that will commence at 6:00pm on Thursday afternoon.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://aattp.org/tragic-irony-wal-mart-holds-canned-food-drive-impoverished-underpaid-employees/#sthash.wBCMRkhg.dpuf[/url]

Sounds like a local manager doing what he can, when headquarters won't approve a pay raise for the employees.
