This is just wrong. The internal memo was leaked out and the VP there is suggesting that to increase profitability they should hire younger, healthier workers and weed out the older, more-inclined to have health benefit claims employees by, for example, making cashiers go out to the parking lot and bring back shooping carts - a physically demanding task.
I've shopped at Wal-Mart for certain things for a couple of years now, and this has me jaded as Hell; their prices are great, but if they're really THIS greedy and malevolent, then they can go screw themselves. I'll go back to Target (better store environment anyway and very good prices as well).
I may never spend another dime at Wal-Mart...
