Walfarts are everywhere. Don't you like the idea of solar on their energy sucking spaces? I mean lonestarnot Sep 2015 #7

then they cut their hours, so that the net pay remains the same, and it doesn't cut into anybody's profit.

Not that anybody would be surprised at that.

unless you would just rather light them on fire, in which case you would have to go to jail. Just sayin' if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

all beefed up for giving back to America with their increased tax dollars , maybe you will be able to afford solar for your roof too, as their prices should go down too. The mass conversion to solar has begun!

while amusingly referring to them as "Walfart."

Seems natural to ask whether you're part of the family. Cousins call each other nicknames all the time.

I hate to interrupt the sanctimony here but does anyone know anyone that works at Walmart? They have health coverage and pay over minimum and require drug and background checks.

I think it's wonderful that they have all those benefits for their employees so the mom and pop stores that had to close down due to Walmart coming into an area, all have a new place to work. It's a win win.
