Wal-Mart update

Apparently someone in Bentonville has figured out that saving half a million bucks has just cost them tens of millions of dollars in employee and customer goodwill, so they've reversed their attempt to help themselves to a settlement intended for the care of a paralyzed former worker. Peer pressure works, evidently.

If they want me as a customer again, though, they're going to have to pay the legal fees for the Shanks as well, not to mention they really ought to consider firing some of those involved in trying to bankrupt this poor family. Morals matter, after all, and the people involved have cost Wal-Mart tens of millions of dollars at least.

They might also want to take a very close look at how they're implementing their cost-cutting measures, as this article demonstrates. Note to Wal-Mart; theft and bankrupting your employees are not legitimate cost-cutting measures. Thank you.
