Walmart secrets



As promised, I have some secrets to share with you about Walmart, which unfortunately is taking over the world as we speak. These secrets come courtesy of a former employee that I know, who was all too happy to share them on the condition of anonymity (with Walmart's ever increasing power, who knows what their evil influence could do to you).

    ~Walmart employees are not allowed to unionize, and managers are given support materials and host regular meetings in regards to discouraging employees from even discussing the idea.

    ~Ever notice the surveillance cameras in your local Walmart parking lot? While you may think that those are for your safety, they are actually part of the "Manager’s Toolbox to Remaining Union Free." There are no actively watching security officers on the other end of those surveillance tapes.

    ~Most Walmarts employ plain-clothed security guards to patrol the stores in secret as they blend in with regular customers.

    ~Walmart employees are given discount cards for their employee discounts which is 10% off both regular and sale priced items at any of the Walmart or Sam's Club chain stores, while close family is allowed to use the cards, employees must surrender their card upon ending employment.

    ~Friends are not permitted to go through the check out lines where their friends are the cashier.
