    I worked for Walmart in the mid 2000s.

    It’s not classist. That place is a hellhole. There’s a reason so many people who work there are on food stamps.

    It’s classist to be mad at people who live in food deserts and can’t shop elsewhere. It’s classist to be fine with the system that puts people in jobs that don’t actually support them. It’s classist to look down on folks who get stuck in those jobs. It’s not classist for someone to be unhappy that they got stuck in such a job.

    Fuck Walmart.

    (I worked there and was a CSM before being able to move to a better job in 2010.)

      Yes Walmart is a shithole but don’t begrudge the people trying to make an honest living. It’s classist, it’s punching down at the wage worker by calling them a clown rather than punching up at the corporation for being a shithole.
