Jackson Racicot, an immature seventeen year old snot from Alberta Canada recently quit his job at Walmart. The childish brat whom John Levine calls heroic, did so by getting on the store PA system and launching into a rant about how bad Walmart is to work for ending with a series of "F"bombs.
When he ended, a number of shoppers are heard applauding.
Walmart, like every other retailer, has to make money for their share holders. Some of what they sell is crap, and you can get better elsewhere for a little more, or on line, but they provide an essential service to millions of Americans.
They also provide jobs. Don't like your job? There is always another one. There is also some one waiting to take yours, and most likely competing with you for the better one. You think your job is bad? I mean really really bad? Check out Mike Rowe's dirty jobs and tell me and him yours is worse.
I've been in the ditches with a shovel digging out failed sewers. I've run machines that can kill or maim if an operator gets lax, and I've worked for some jerks with serious issues.
You want better pay? Earn it. Management takes notice of people who bust ass from bell to bell and most places will award such behavior. If they don't, or can't, that supervisor will still give a good reference when you apply for that better job and higher wages expenses paid and a car you are dreaming of.
Another way to earn it is to get educated. Dropping the "F" bombs shows you are not educated, and very possibly not trainable either. The world is covered with institutions that can teach most people everything from underwater basket weaving to brain surgery and gasp, even rocket science. If David Hogwarts can get accepted to Harvard, maybe you can too. Hey! Barry went there!
So my question for all the fine folks at the Alberta Walmart who applauded Jackass is, why were you shopping there?
I'm sure she's taken, men
