I think Walmarts problems have little to do with employees being bi lingual. Actually, the employees I know there said the Hispanic employees (while maybe have not perfected ENglish) are some of the hardest working employees. I KNOW this is a generalization but he said that the caucasion people that are pissed off about only making 6 something an hour are the ones that do the least work because they think they should make more to do what they are doing.

I think the problem is managment/training and pride. This Walmart has none of the above and it shows.
