Wal-Mart screwing over its employees is nothing new this is just another excuse for it.
Pretty much. Years ago when I worked at a Walmart, it would have taken half of my paycheck to cover the insurance premiums. This was decades ago. Likely, they have no hope to be able to afford the health care premiums now days unless they are management.
But is was late and the better half needed something so I had to use them. When I was checking out I
commented to the cashier about the rising food costs in the past year. Sadly she said that she has a hard time even affording food these days. And
sometimes she has to go without.
