    It's more about the fact that they pay cashiers about $7 an hour and they cant get cashiers to come to work. Most of the time, they schedule the proper help needed, but then no one shows up. I am not defending Walmart, just offering some insight from what Ive gathered from being in Walmart around 8 hours a day every day for the last 2 years.

    I thought it was $8.50 these days. I could be wrong though.

    Federal and State minimum wage can be different. When I was working for minimum wage in Illinois it was 8.50. But that was higher than the federal minimum.

    The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Many states also have minimum wage laws. Some state laws provide greater employee protections; employers must comply with both.

    People who declare themselves a member of a political party and then feel they must blindly follow what the leaders of that party state. You don't necessarily have to vote for independents, but please think independently instead of being dictated to.

    Ay-men. Im liberal about some things, Im conservative about others. Im libertarian about some of both. I think most people are to some degree, its never made sense to me to ally yourself blindly along party lines. Ive never met one single person in my life that I agreed with wholebeartedly and without reservation on every single subject in the world, how can you expect me to blindly follow the doctrine of an entire political party and not disagree with at least some of it?

    Another pet peeve of mine is people who see me and meet me for the very first time and think they already know me like a book.

    my pet peeve here lately is why people are so shocked when these idiots that preach and dance with rattlesnakes and other poisonious snakes die when they do not get attention after being bitten!
    unless you are really,really lucky or get a dry bite,chances are you are gonna die from without anti venom.

    Having to slam on my brakes while driving through the parking lot right in front of the entrance/exit of a grocery store and people come barreling out with their carts into the lot without checking for cars coming from either direction. This is definitely a Walmart guarantee.
