Wal-Mart: Sure, you've worked here twenty years, and we just capped your wages, and cut your hours, and you have no set schedule, and if your child gets sick, that's an unexcused absence, and if that happens four times you get fired. Sure, all of that is true. But you know what?
Worker: What?
Wal-Mart: We're going to give you a polo shirt if you stick it out for twenty years, and on top of that, on top of THAT! We're going to give you a 10% discount on one (1) item, on top of the 10% discount you already get.
Worker: And unions are awful, why exactly again?
"Apparently, a concern for others is self-love at its least attractive, while greed is now a sign of the highest altruism. But then to reverse, periodically, the meanings of words is a very small price to pay for our vast freedom not only to conform but to consume." Gore Vidal
