When employees work hard, they should be compensated fairly for all the hard work that they have put into their job. In the first Alien movie, Parker begins to complain about the money he will receive in the first breakfast scene. He begins to talk about how much money he will get from this job and his fair share of a bonus from the company. This is similar to the employees at Wal-Mart for several reasons.

This correlates to the complaints that the Wal-Mart employees were making. They were not getting paid what they should be because they are being discriminated against and dismissed because they are women, just like Ripley. Another example of this would be that Lieutenant Gorman dismisses something that Ripley said, all under probable cause that she is a woman, even though in the end she is right. Ripley is saying how the soldiers should not fire their weapons because their current location is a big fusion reactor. Lieutenant Gorman simply says “So?”
