[QUOTE="H D, post: 958234, member: 68494"] My time with Sam's Club (warehouse Wal-Mart essentially) was while in college. It paid all my needs, gave me a steady, reliable income and suited my schedule very well. I never once complained about pay or benefits. Actually, at $11.65/hr, I felt like I was being over-paid for the work I did. I actually got passed on a promotion for a full-time job (mainly because they knew I wasn't there career) by an illiterate, mentally-challenged guy. I mean no disrespect by that, but that is exactly who he was. His signature was a mark, X, and he could barely speak the English language (not entirely because of his disabilities, more of a racial dialect and Boston background). When I worked the shift after him, my day consisted of reordering things because doing it by color just wasn't correct. That's when you realize how replaceable you are. Should this kind of job really be under unionization? I think $11.65/hr for a very minimally skilled job is generous. Mind you, this isn't the North East, either. That probably would have been a closer equivalent to $14-$15/hr in other places in the country. This was also when the minimum wage was $5.25/hr. To say that Wal-Mart doesn't pay fairly is ridiculous, IN MY EXPERIENCE. [/QUOTE]
