Blasting Walmart and other companies like them

Blasting Walmart and other companies like them

It's bad enough that in the last 30 years we have cut and taken away more and more jobs from people.

First in the auto industry, then in manufacturing, then in phone service and now we are taking away jobs that regular people, millions of regular people could do. I am talking about the cashier jobs at Walmart and other big chains across the US.

I went grocery shopping last night to my neighborhood Walmart and mind you I was just there a week before and in one weeks time they took out all of the cashiers and put in a do it yourself checkout, there wasn't even one cashier left, just all do it yourself.

That means if before there were 6 lines and we all know they never have all six open but let's say there was 4 out of the 6 and there were 2 shifts, that means 8 people just lost their jobs in this one store alone. 

Everyone is so up in arms about people on unemployment but here is this billion dollar company and many like them cutting millions of jobs a day.

And yet they get all the incentives, they get big tax breaks, and we are mad at the 7.45 per hour workers? Give me a break! 

Even before this I refused to self check out, my girls would fight with me about it but I would not do it as I was taking a stand. Maybe one person taking a stand doesn't matter but if many do,  we can change the world. Besides I don't believe that as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and many others, by themselves made a change so we can too if we stand up for what we believe.

Getting back to my gripe, first I refuse to take someone's job and make Walmart richer. Are you giving us a discount for checking out our own groceries? You are obviously saving millions by firing all these employees so where is our savings for doing their jobs?

Second, I hate grocery shopping and now I have to check out and bag my own shit? You gotta be kidding?

I will go to another store or order it online from now on but I refuse to make a billion dollar company richer while the employees you fired can't put food on their tables.

What is wrong with us, as a country? As a society? We have lost compassion, we have killed people's dreams, we have made people not want to work or do a good job at it.

Years ago people worked hard and got paid enough to buy cars and homes. We didn't have credit cars or debts like we do now.

But then we decided it would be a great idea to send all of our jobs overseas because they would do it for half of what we were paying here.

If we wanted our country to be great again we should have never allowed companies to outsource their stuff. We should have made laws to keep it within the United States so we made all the money and the companies could continue to pay decent living wages. We are cutting out all customer service jobs and replacing them with robots that don't work! Come on, how many times have you screamed the same thing into the phone 10 times and heard, we don't understand your reply? 

This is beyond frustrating why? Because they didn't want to pay for a live person. How many times have you called a company only to get someone from India or China that you have to repeat yourself 20 times because you can't understand each other? Again, loss of our jobs for cheaper pay and these companies are getting incentives and huge tax breaks to literally put people out of work in our own country.

And then we ask why does no one want to work? It's because they are over used, underpaid and definitely under appreciated. No one cares about their employees anymore, you don't even get a gold watch for all the time you put in, hell most people don't even make it there as they fire them to put in someone younger for less money, this is US capitalism at its finest. 

Don't even try to clap back… we all know this is true. There are no more mom and pop business anymore because the big guys came in and took over, so tell me what do you want these people to do? 

These people who don't know how to do anything else, who are trying to put themselves through school or the older ones who would like to not have to choose medicine or eating and have to continue to work so they don't end up eating cat food? This is the reality of what's going on in this country.

So let me ask you how are we helping them? Don't just give lip service to them and say they don't want to work, come up with an idea. Make a change against these companies, take a stand, do something.

So today my friends, I am here writing about this injustice, I refuse to bag my own shit. I, in my own way, am taking a stand. So what are you doing to make a change? 

Don't blame people because of the system, change the system. We seem to forget we run the government not the other way around, so we need to change it, change laws, take out the politicians that aren't doing the right things, we need to make it better, we need to make the change.

And as I always say at the end of every blog…
