Wal-Mart You Have Choice
Sam Walton said:"…we 'll lower the cost of living for everyone, not just in America, but we 'll give the world an opportunity to see what it 's like to save and have a better lifestyle, a better life for all.

My opinion for the critics, is that no one is forcing them to work there or not to further their education, if they want to advance in life they need to make a choice. The critics in my opinion treat it as if it was slave labor and it is not. During a transitional period I worked at Wal-Mart and was actually impressed with how efficiently they operated, they seemed to have researched and found the cause and effect for potential problems, and had the correct process and procedures in place for solving it. It is also my opinion, that increasing employee wages does not make them a better employee. Working for Wal-Mart is a stepping stone in the right direction for workers with low
