Somebody reported:
## Wal-Mart used to sell off all their plants and trees (very

reasonably)
late in the season. You could get great deals. Then one of the long

time
employee there told me they stopped that! They now trash them rather

than
mark them down.


What's the difference between your greed to get a bargain and the stock
holders greed?


Friend ran a chicken place where the employees were not allowed to take

home
leftover chicken at closing, it went into the dumpster. Why? Simple, when
they allowed it there was ALWAYS a full fryer at the end of the day. Maybe
Wal-mart is protecting the stockholders from the associates?

===================================
That sounds like poor management to me as much as dishonest employees. As
for places like Wal-Mart - that wouldn't apply. They are not the ones who
order the pond and garden merchandise for the stores.
