Where do you expect her to live? In some $60 million hovel? How dare you!

I mean, Del has already made it clear that he thinks Wal Mart workers are lazy scum and don't deserve to live, when will you get with the program? Alice Walton worked very hard to get born into such a rich family!

And having worked retail, it's not an easy job. It takes a great deal of patience and energy not to punch ******* customers in the face who automatically assume you're a lazy moron because you work retail. Retail is the worst. And it's mostly the customers. I remember one woman attempting to use coupons in my checkout line for things that not only did she not buy, but we didn't even sell. And when I said no, she marched over to the managers' office to complain about me.

yeah, retail workers don't earn their keep, but old alice has. i'm not surprised that's his response-but i put him on ignore some time ago to spare myself.
i also worked in retail, and if i had to do it again, there's no way i could. i learned a lot there, everywhere i worked i learned valuable lessons.

what i've learned most tho-is people who deride walmart and fast food workers (for example) don't know what they're talking about. neither do people who think all military enlistees do so because they can't do anything else.
my son passed up an lsu scholarship for the navy, and is now a nuclear electronics technician. he'll make handsome dough when he gets out after giving his time to the navy in exchange for several years worth of education and training.

Glad he isn't going to HAVE to work at WalMart.

You and he do realize LSU has a nuclear engineering program? And a 4 year scholarship is worth about $140K. And a nuclear engineer starts out with a salary 40% greater than a nuclear electronics technician?

Forget it and no wonder you don't read my posts.

I sure hope for his sake that both he and you have that guaranteed in writing somewhere.

don't need it in writing, just know what the market is for his job.
he just got an almost six figure bonus for re-upping, demand is that high.
