Does she have to work on Thanksgiving? That's a long time is she in management? Is she making enough to live comfortably? I sure hope so, because I have heard that the average Wal-Mart employee makes under 15, 000 dollars a year - hardly a living wage. Your mom is not Wal-Mart and working for Wal-Mart isn't horrible, but I think the largest corporation in the world can do better by their employees, especially when they come into a town and kill many of the locally owned shops by way of underpricing. They will actually lose money this way - they can afford for one store to lose money although I doubt many do.
Props to your mom man, I hope they are treating her well.

: Hey watch it. My mom's a Walmart Assciote. Been working at the LAnd O' Lakes store since 1989.

: : As Thanksgiving Day approaches I was wondering what plans you have with your families and friends. We don't usually get to spend these family holidays with each other and I want to make sure there is no one we know who is heating up a Hungry Man TV dinner and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade alone. So tell me/us your plans! We want to know!
: : I have plans to have dinner here with my father and the kids, I want to invite anyone who does not have other plans to join me that day.

: : On another note - a really big thing is shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
: : The corporate moguls have really botched up what would otherwise be a peaceful four day weekend with your family and friends and turned it into a shopping frenzy, with incredible savings and things that will be sold out in a matter of a few hours - so get here early! Ridiculous. I personally have NEVER been shopping on the friday following Turkey Day and NEVER will. I plan on extending that all weekend this year except for neccessities(toilet paper and such).
: : I would like to invite you to join me in boycotting this insipid practice. Non-participation is protest, but if you think I am the only one then check out this website!
: : Peace, Love and NOTHING purchased at Cattle-CallMart!
