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 disagree. My biggest complaint, although not as bad lately, is a lack of communication, and especially a lack of wanting to help customers. Hard working? That should also cover customer care as well right? Hasn't that been the major complaint?

I have several friends that have worked there for a long time and their view of the problem IS current employees who were hired on their ability to speak Spanish and not on their people skills.

Ultimately the blame does fall in the lap of the managers for hiring based on the wrong skill set.

I KNOW this is a generalization but he said that the Caucasian 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 do agree to some extent but I think its not just a "Caucasian" problem but an American problem. Its not just the Caucasians that feel they're worth more. Supply and demand works with employees as well. Why would they pay someone $7 an hour when they can find people willing to work for $6?

I've never understood this need to start out making the same as people that have worked a job for years. I know Wal*Mart pays well those who prove themselves worth the money. Heck, one of my friends makes $18 an hour and thats not bad for the type of work. She started out at piddly wages just like everyone else. She was willing to prove her worth and Wal*Mart seems willing to pay it.
