I don't need that. I'm already not getting a Thanksgiving so I can sleep through the afternoon and be awake for my shift- I don't need a crazy stupid night too.
Good luck- I hope you got to eat dinner with your friends and family earlier.

I'd like responders to state whether or not they've ever worked at wal-mart. Personally I can tell you wal mart is very underhanded at times. I understand unskilled labor shouldn't pay very well, but don't give us a fucking packet about our benefits since virtually no one get's benefits.
There is persistent pressure to skip your breaks in order to work, even though breaks are mandatory. I've been forced to discuss current work during lunch even though managers strictly forbid it during orientation.
You will never, ever get a fulltime shift, this is in order to prevent any worker receiving benefits. Any requests to alter you shift will go largely ignored, even if it's for school or another job.
I was put on the sales associate pay scale but forced to work cashier and inventory which pay more, essentially screwing me out of every possible cent.
At one point work hours were slashed by 4000 one month, half the people quit, anyone remaining was scheduled to work 8 hours a week.
Basically wal-mart is very underhanded and has no respect for its employees, but I don't think unskilled workers should make enough to support a family, but I do think at the fucking least you schedule people full time not 32 hours a week and give the benefits you taunt them with during orientation.
Since I know there are a lot of dissenting twats that refuse to believe anything they disagree with, here is a news story about it [link]
