Brain-damaged woman sued by Wal-Mart

I guess the devil is in the details.

While it's an upsetting story, I'm going to have to go with Skills on this one.

Knowing how Walmart tends to treat its employees, this should come as no surprise from anyone here, or elsewhere. They're infamous for "fine print" clauses, and anyone who considers signing a paper with Walmart really, really really ought to read everything thoroughly.

Like Skills said, Walmart is legally under no obligation to let the family have their money.

Don't act like Walmart is the only major corporation to fuck people over. You guys with you "I AM NEVER SHOPPING AT WALMART AGAIN" are in for a rude awakening: many, many, many corporations give people the shaft.

They're not out to lose money - they're in it to make money. They're not expected to be the moral pinnacles of society.

Yes, it's a sad story. I recognize that. But really.

Apart from the whole "F U WALMART" shit, why would the family constantly REMIND her that her son is dead?? Seriously, she's braindead. Why cause her more pain - EVERY DAY - telling her that her son is dead when she has pretty much no short term memory? That's AWFULLY cruel if you ask me. You know those situations where white lies are permissible? I think this is the perfect time for that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think those sorts are called "schizophrenics."

There's nowhere I can't reach.
